Wow, the MBTA is actually making a somewhat sound financial decision? I'm shocked.

Air rights have the potential to make quit a bit of cash. Cornelius Vanderbilt used air rights to fund putting the tunnels to Grand Central underground. Kudos to the T.

Now, if they could just make a sound organizational restructuring, they'd be the road to recovery. And perhaps they should be more willing to tell The Hill to stuff it when they pass legislation that requires the T to build a expensive underused extension...
