Ok, then. Good luck to the T without raising more revenue and reducing expenses.

30 minute headways would be a death sentence for ridership...

Have you ever heard of a transit death spiral? Yoh seem to have no basic knowledge of how successful transit systems are run. Lowering frequency will not reduce expenses enough to cover the completely collapse in ridership that will be caused by your proposed measures. The mbta spends almost $600M on wages, $550M on debt service and only $365M on materials and services.
