Doesn't the T get a lot of money already? It feels the same as Boston's school bus system, which gets enough that we could pay for all its riders to get taxi rides instead but can't be trusted to even show up at each stop each day.

I feel like the state needs some dedicated office of audits and budgeting that goes in each year to work with departments to find where the money's going and how much its goals will cost. Also, outline priorities so maybe it will top wasting money making one of the cheapest subway systems in the world free when it claims to be in dire need of funds to make itself usable (unless it's literally paying me for my time, I'm not waiting half an hour for a piss-soaked Orange Line train I can out-walk no matter how cheap it is).
