Two-thirds of Massachusetts lives in the Greater Boston metro. Boston needs a denser and better-connected inner-core to support the sparse and sprawling suburbs... And that's impossible with car infrastructure.

A subway train has peak capacity of 1000 people. To fit the same number of people bumper-to-bumper would take almost 3 acres in area and more than 3 miles of length.
Of course, cars are never bumper-to-bumper. Instead, at a 2s following distance at 60mph, it would take about 30 miles.
