More fare increases on the way! Read all about it HERE.
I would say, “write the GM of the MBTA and your local and state reps,” but I’ve tried that before–even providing links to all of the above and suggestions for what to say, and I don’t think anybody did it. So this time all I’ve got to say is: “suck it up, suckas!”
Actually, just to be informnative and solution-oriented, as we here at T-Rage always, always try to be (how could you have failed to notice?), I will mention, for those of you too lazy or incurious or cool to click on the link above, that the week of May 15th there are a number of public meetings sponsored by the MBTA planned for all over Boston and the suburbs. You can find the schedule HERE, although I won’t hold my breath waiting for you all with T-Rage T-shirts at the door.
My monthly pass is set to go from $44 to $62, seems like, but I can probably bike six months out of the year, which’ll save me almost four hundred bucks. I mean, I find the very thought of forking out nearly $750 a year for what I’m already paying too much for at the current rate, with no improvements in service as part of the deal revolting. There are no words for how revoltingly revolting the idea of it is to me.
I recommend just buying a bike instead. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a hell of a lot faster than the T.
