I enjoy their color-based aesthetic, and I'm glad that the network is as extensive as it is--but lots of work to do
But it won't be extensive enough until there's T service from Boston to Hampshire & Berkshire. #TrainTwitter
and that won't be a winning proposition until they can dramatically improve conditions on the existing network
how is @MBTA funded for the most part? #TrainTwitter
mostly state taxes iirc, plus local and federal contributions they should be aiming for profitability!
they'd have to branch out for that though I bet, and lease rail-adjacent properties etc #TrainTwitter
not necessarily--profitable railways elsewhere get most of their money from passengers...
...they should be aiming to increase ridership, and making improvements to that end
yes they could certainly do with a big fat check for repairs. I'd guess big dig spending to blame for backlog #TrainTwitter
partly, but the problems go further back too
