Fucking incredible.
Now Tufts won't even have to run that shuttle anymore!

Well, now, or by 2015 or so. :)

Does Tufts have multiple shuttles? I can't imagine that this would affect the one that stops in Davis Square.

Well, I guess the idea behind the shuttle is that the T is a ways away from Tufts. If the Green Line extends to College Ave, there won't be any reason for Tufts to run a shuttle to Davis. And frankly, the Davis shuttle is horribly inefficient. It runs too infrequently, and stops too long at the campus center, to really be useful. You can almost get to Davis faster by walking.
