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.

Relax. Your takeaway from this is really to spin into a negative because they don't do it for every holiday involving drinking?

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?
