Then on St Patrick’s day parking in Boston is free but the T isn’t. I guess they want to reward drunk drivers? Pretty dumb.

To give a different takeaway: prioritizing free parking over free alternative forms of transit definitely gives the signal that they'd rather you drive. Maybe we should subsidize safer modes of transit than driving?

They say 9PM in their announcements but most drivers or operators start it around 8 PM

This is good news. Keeps the drunkard revelers and the rest of safe on the roads. But, I feel really sorry for the poor bastards who have to clean these vomit-spewed cars after the celebrations.
