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...

if I may - I would recommend you guys test the rail waters with synchronized shuttles to/from
