Say NO to MBTA

fare hikes & service cuts!

Fare hikes and service cuts are unfair and short-sighted!

They place the burden of the T’s deficit on the backs of T riders, who are traveling in ways that benefit the environment.

The highest proposed fare increases are for seniors, students, and people with disabilities.  The T has proposed eliminating the #55 bus, crucial for seniors.

The MBTA is hosting public meetings.
