And We Are Paying For This?

Posted by Jonathan_Elias
 

Your train is late, last month it was late, and three months ago it was involved in a wreck.  Sounds like a bad movie, but this is the reality of mass transit in and around Boston.  The MBTA operating budget is 1.1 billion dollars, but really what are we getting for our money. Efficiency, safety, a clean safe environment to get from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’?  The ‘T’ cries poverty, and now we find they may be neglecting safety issues which could endanger passengers. 

 

What is wrong with the ‘T’?  What would you like to see happen to this agency? Should the agency be gutted and start over? Should it get a big taxpayer bailout to fix the issues? Where should the money come from?

 

Tell us your thoughts and we’ll talk about it today at 5pm on WBZ News.
