boston.com - MBTA budget gap proposals: fare increase + discontinuation of ferries, weekend service on commuter, Green E & mattapan lines.
also commuter rail service after 10pm on weekdays.
Look forward to some more cars in Boston folks!
I feel they do this every once in a while to get people to think about how important a service the MBTA provides, get people riled the fuck up, businesses in the city to complain (how would people get home from sox/celtics/patriots games? restaurants counting on commuter rails to get people to spend money, etc), and in the end, get more funding/find a resolution that isn’t even nearly as bad as these proposals. Lets hope I’m right about that.
