You'd have to be pretty dense to actually think they aren't going to increase service for the world cup

You'd have to be pretty dense to actually think they will make the changes necessary to increase service enough to make a difference (electrification and an extra platform at Foxborough) in time for the world cup given the track record of infrastructure improvement timelines on the MBTA.

They will run trains and shuttle buses as they did in 1994. I feel like people are ignoring the fact they already hosted the World Cup in Foxborough and did stuff like that to handle the crowds last time.

This is also hardly a specific issue to Boston. Pretty much all of the US venues for 2026 are outside of the city with poor or no public transit options to access them.
