Plans
Ruggles was a proposed stop on the MBTA's planned Urban Ring Project. The Urban Ring was be a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Line designed to connect the current MBTA Lines to reduce strain on the downtown stations; however, it has been shelved indefinitely.
A number of smaller projects in the corridor have been approved; among them is adding a second commuter rail platform to serve track 2 at Ruggles. A preliminary study recommended a full-length 800-foot platform located east of the busway bridge. As of 2012, the project is in design.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“We for a certainty are not the first
Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled
Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed
Whatever brute and blackguard made the world.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“The human mind plans the way, but the LORD directs the steps.”
