Hello! As we all continue to cope with the challenges of commuting on the T, GBH News wanted to bring by our transit reporter Bob Seay and transit expert Jim Aloisi to answer your questions about how we got here, how we might get to a better place with transit in Boston, and what the key things to know are in the meantime.
Bob Seay is a broadcast journalist with decades of experience. After serving as the Morning Edition host for GBH News, he leaned in to a beat he really cares about: transportation. You can see the 30 Days To Save The T series here. https://www.wgbh.org/news/mbtashutdown
James Aloisi is the former Secretary of Transportation for Massachusetts and currently serves on the board of Transit Matters. Transit Matters advocates for fast, frequent, reliable and effective public transportation in Boston. Transit Matters' slow zones dashboard has been discussed here on r/boston recently; you can see more of the organization's data-driven projects here: https://transitmatters.org/transitmatters-labs
We will be live answering your questions beginning at noon on Monday, April 3, 2023.
UPDATE: Thanks so much, everyone, for asking such great questions. Jim and Bob really enjoyed having the opportunity to talk to you. I think you might have sold them both on becoming Redditors! -- Lisa Williams, GBH News
