I don't often travel on the T after 8 for various reasons, all unrelated to the number of notices I get via the T-Alerts emails about delays. Last Thursday evening it was an unavoidable affair, but it was certainly fruitful. MBTA General Manager Rich Davey, another person, and I were all heading home after the joint MBTA-MassDOT Developers event, Where's The Bus? 2.0 and we got stuck on a southbound Red Line train at Charles-MGH due to a broken down train at Park Street. Our idle chatting turned into an impromptu interview with the new GM nearly 11 weeks into his appointment.
Bus
[The Pokey/Schleppie Awards] identifies the most unreliable routes and suggests bus priority infrastructure implementations, operations modernization, and policy and planning changes to create a better bus network for riders.
Public Comment
“I'm excited to see [the Low Income Fare] program increase access, change lives, and save riders and the Commonwealth money.”
Public Comment
“The lack of sustainable, long-term funding hurts the ability of public transit to operate, plan, or build efficiently. I hope that the recently announced task force will give us some of those options to fully fund public transit.”
