Boston's B-aaah-T boondoggle
Do you get the feeling that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) proposals exist only to steal some thunder from rail advocates? Remember how they say it's cheaper and faster to build? Well, Boston proves all that wrong with their expensive Silver Line bus-in-a-tunnel plan.
On the other hand, MBTA fares are some of the lowest in the country, only recently breaking the $1 barrier for a subway ride. That could account for their fiscal trouble.
