A pillar of her mayoral campaign was “Free MBTA Fares” as a means of social and economic equity.

So far she’s:

  • Spent $8M in Federal COVID relief funds to make three bus routes free for two years.

  • Is now trying to make the a commuter rail stop cheaper for its affluent riders.

Maybe it’s not hilarious but it’s pretty funny.

I mean it’s also just entertainment, same way you pay for any other entertainment. Shut going to a sporting event with 1 other person and grabbing some food and drinks runs you easily around 150-200 bucks nowadays, no harm in someone putting 20 bucks on games here and there for entertainment value. Would like to see advertising restricted though, same as booze/cigarettes.
