My workaday schedule may prevent me from getting to today’s 4PM rally in Copley Square on time, but I will be at the MBTA’s hearing. I urge all of you concerned about the future of adequate and affordable public transit in this city to come to the rally, attend the hearing or at least contact your legislators and your city councilors.
Details at T-Rage and T Justice. I particularly like T-Rage’s bullet point program for T improvement:
1 – Rider Input
- ROC daily blog
- Bulletin board
- Full-time Ombudsman
2 – Transparency
- Readily available, searchable statistics on budget and labor
- Open inquiry into abuses
- Full and direct public participation in fare negotiations
3 – Fair Funding from the Commonwealth
- Real funding options for the T
- Viable debt payment
- Increased commitment to public transit
Or, read the fuller version here. I can’t imagine a better or more worthy platform myself.
