The purpose of this report is to present the results of a study conducted to determine the requirements, and to evaluate alternative solutions, for the provision of mass transportation facilities of the externally-guided vehicular type in the Boston area. The scope of the study included a survey of the field of transportation to determine the various types of vehicular equipment, roadways, signaling and control, power systems, structures and other pertinent components that are available or will be fully developed for commercial application 'within a period of two years' from the date of the submittal of the final report for this study. This report includes the results of the equipment and facilities survey, the estimate of present and future market potential, a study of the factors affecting the Boston terminus of any mass transit system, and a development of the system criteria to meet the objectives of the transportation system.
