Maybe It's Just Me, But...

Doesn't it seem strange that--with all the talk of global warming and rising gas prices--this is the time the MBTA proposes raising fees for people who use public transportation? Shouldn't we be encouraging people to leave their cars at home and take the bus or the T? For the good of the environment if nothing else?

I mean, WWAGD? (What would Al Gore do?) Or more like, WTF? (Don't make me spell it out, people--I have a young kid at home.)

It's more like WTF....

recently W. Mass was reported to have the worst air quality in the state. Not surprising--we don't have much in the way of mass transt and pretty much everyone drives an Earth Destroyer (not that they live where they need them, mind you.)

I feel like it's just going to get more and more surreal before the whole situation attains equilibrium

I bow to your much greater knowledge, David! I'm just an occasional weekend rider myself, so it won't have much affect on me. But my husband commutes to school in Boston from the 'burbs, and he's already complaining about the price hike. I think you're right. and he's going to have to break down and bother getting a Charlie Card.

Of course, it's still cheaper overall than the Washington Metro, which is cleaner but doesn't go to as many places.
