Reply to comment by NaggeringU in Transit experts say new MBTA general manager will 'fail' without more resources by ToadScoper

Austerity is not viable when nobody trusts a failing agency. Governance and management need to be restructured, and transparency needs to be restored with the public. A new manager is not going to solve anything if there are no other changes to T management. Only then will we might see the T get back on track, or at least to the point of it operating beyond the bare minimum

Even if the management were perfect the reality is that ridership, and therefore revenue is down. It’s only common sense to increase revenue and decrease expenses.
