Hmmm…where is the debt from the Big Dig/who is responsible for it?
Oh yeah, the state put that debt on the MBTA and is requiring the MBTA to come up with funds to pay that back

Yeah that is a major issue. IIRC the debt payments the T is responsible are massive, like I want to say half a billion per year. It's a major hamper on our transit system when the T is responsible for paying off the Big Dig...

Yep, ~$500MM per year in debt servicing, and it’s a whopping 25% of the operating budget
