The T Goes to Allston?
The Crimson reports that Harvard wants Boston to build a T-stop in Allston. That sounds like a fine idea. More public transportation, fewer cars.
Just one problem: the proposed name is "West Station."
Could it be possible to think of a more generic and less helpful name for a subway stop? (No.) I know there's obvious precedent for this—South Station, etc.—but in fact, those are singularly unhelpful names for T-stops. Wouldn't it just be easier to give it a name that actually tells you where the darn thing is?
Like, maybe, "Allston"?
