Things are bottoming out... austerity measures don't seem prudent or safe.

We must educate the youth so as not to punish them as men

What exactly is unsafe about austerity? The T needs more money and needs to lower its expenses.

Anything else is delusional.

The people making sacrifices in your comments are the ones that depend on the T, not the MBTA. The idea of taking a failing service that many depend on and increasing pricing while reducing availability and access will result in reduced ridership and quality fo experience.

I don't know how to tell you how unhinged you come across. There are other public transportation systems that have been resurrected through improved management and government intervention... why do you think the T can't be helped without hurting everyone that depends on it?

You are right. The T will improve. Good luck.

Luck to me or the T my prescient pedant?
