The MBTA may be financially broke, but it’s rich in apps. Transit riders in Greater Boston have access to more mobile and web applications (more than 50) than any of the nation’s largest transit agencies except New York’s MTA - though the T has about seven times as many apps per rider as the larger MTA.
Francisca Rojas of Harvard Kennedy School’s Transportation Policy Project recently praised the MBTA and TriMet (the transit system in Portland, Ore.) for doing the most to make high-quality data accessible and encourage third-party software developers to build apps at no cost to the agency and little or no cost to riders.

Man oh man, Trimet is so very dumb: t.co/pkFlDAKR Seriously? You didn't notice
them taking away your money? #NeedTrimetElectedBoard
HOW MUCH BALONEY CAN THEY THROW AT US
Here we have a Trimet document that is threatening LAYOFFS!
They go on a hysterical hiring binge and then turn around and threaten LAYOFFS!
We need some sort of EXTERNAL AUDIT performed on this agency that has NO CONNECTION to TRIMET staff.

WHILE TRIMET HAS DONE AWAY WITH CASH FOR SAFE DRIVERS
Other more intelligent transit districts understand that money is saved by encouraging safety.

RUSE-a trick, stratagem, or artifice.
So now we have yet another story of a deaf and dumb management that turns its backs on front line worker safety recommendations.
How many times do we have to be witness to this GROSS INCOMPETENCE that seems to be part of our management culture?
A management that has NO REGARD for its employees insights and recommendations when it comes to improving the safety of its system.
A management that "always knows best" on how to handle on the ground issues, even though they themselves are never actually 'on the ground'.
A management that thinks ROCK AND ROLL is a way to handle all the defects in the operating equipment.
Something goes wrong, Management says : "We taught our operators to ROCK AND ROLL , and told them to SCAN."
We are on to your bullshit, your little attempts to place blame upon your operators when things go wrong and ABSOLVE MANAGEMENT MALFEASANCE IS NOTHING BUT A RUSE!
TRIMET LIGHT RAIL SAFETY COMPROMISED!
I have sent an appropriately edited version of the following message.I distributed it to the following , Community leaders in Washington county, the Oregonian, ODOT and Gov Kitz, about up and coming changes they are making to the Maintenance of Way Dept. The reasons for this can only be attributed to retaliation by management against MOW employees. R K the MOW manager is nuts. Working for R K is like being a victim of a child molester. He gets his jollies by abusing all around him. He needs to go, Moral of the employees are at an all time low. The light rail physical plant is deteriorating from differed maintenance by the minute. So much for the rant, read the following and think twice about your safety when it comes to riding the train because this is only a small piece of the total deterioration at Rail.
Sorry about it being long winded but I thought you, Union brothers and sisters would like to know!
To the Honorable City Officials of the community,
