“The MBTA's fraud detection team has increased monitoring to account for this vulnerability [and] does not anticipate any significant financial impact to the MBTA."
Oh well thank goodness the business isn't hurt!
It's a public company and mostly operated by the local government. It runs a huge deficit on its own without the help of federal aid and state help. The less funds it brings in just means more that will be requested from tax payers.
Won't somebody think of the shareholders??!!
The MBTA is a public agency that is funded by both fares and tax dollars. So you shouldn't be worried about the business, but the citizens of Boston.
Roads aren't funded by fares, why should public transit?
