Does that mean the senators and representatives will actually be there?

Just in time for a multimillion inauguration bash?

Are we having a little confusion about city vs state vs federal government facilities?

No more than running on a free T platform.

Well she has made a few lines free already. You should express your anger at the state for providing so many free highways and roads! And schools! And libraries!

...shut it down.

Wu's administration has managed to get a few more bus routes to not require rider fares.

It would seem she's slowly making good on her promises.

Enjoy the inauguration. It should be a nice party.

Do you mean the feds paid for it?

By BostonDog on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 10:42pm.

The city paid for it using funding they got from federal government. Already 80% of the T's funding is indirect.

Wu never suggested that the T would be free to operate. She pledged to work toward a system where riders would not need to pay directly when they used the system.

To be honest she (and Janey) have done more then I thought would be possible a year ago. They made the "don't try, it's impossible" crowd look like fools.

You don't think that the mayor of the biggest city in the state has maybe a little clout in influencing the MBTA's fare structure?

By anon on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 9:41pm.

I'm pretty sure the MBTA is governed by the state government. But it should be taken over by the feds to prevent s disastrous life risk of its riders.

OH REALLY?

DC Metro is run by congress and it has worse problems than the T. Adding Bureaucracy isn't the answer.

What the T needs is less interference from people who don't actually use it.

By Pete X on Tue, 02/15/2022 - 8:53am.

Not only are they "notfromboston," they are completely unfamiliar with simple local details like Boston's weather, government architecture, T operations, the fact that Wu rides the T every day etc... They're not honestly engaging, just posting knee-jerk right wing talking points without any understanding of the local context.

When does our Governor open?

I was in high school on a field trip and I asked the tour guide why was it so fancy. LOL.
I don't remember if I got an answer.
