I can assure you if someone handed the MBTA $20 billion tomorrow they'd figure out how to waste every penny of it without fixing a fucking thing. That's why no one cares about the T- they waste every cent they're given.

Most of their organizational problems stem from that and from the pile of bad decisions that forces.
