      And double down on car infrastructure that costs enormously more per mile per year per passenger, while ruining public health, urban planning and destroying the environment leading to accelerating disasters.

    The MBTA also needs at least an estimated $24.5 billion to bring its infrastructure to a state of good repair.

    I knew that the MBTA had built up a huge pile of deferred maintenance on its infrastructure due to past funding shortfalls, but this is enormous. I commute to work every day via the T (commuter rail to red line), and it hasn’t been too bad lately. However, I no longer live downtown, so I don’t really use the system much beyond my commute these days.

      Corporations will just start Favelas. Never be late for work again!

      And they are thinking of you, you can pay rent with company credits instead of worthless $$.
