A line there would have high ridership /mile than ion I would think

As an observer to this discussion, my read is more that it is "what's the least shitty way to extend it to Cambridge", not "what's the way to increase utility for the most people in the Region". I think the question of whether or not extending it to Cambridge is the best next move would be a separate discussion (which I would also be interested in observing).

Good argument. There are more pressing needs elsewhere, but if one were to say lets build this and that before Cambridge, you'll get a lot of pissed off people south of the 401 (though I think some would be happy not having a train run through the city) -- either way, at that point, you can no longer ask Cambridge to help pay for anything. So it becomes a financial decision as well.
