Mayor Walsh this week urged the MBTA to rethink its current plan to eliminate or scale back bus routes, ferries, and other services in an effort to offset a deepening budget shortfall caused by the pandemic. And Walsh’s critique along with push-back from other elected officials and the public seems to be having some effect.
Speaking on Monday outside of the MBTA’s Government Center Station alongside other elected officials and union leaders, Walsh urged the T’s Fiscal Management and Control Board (FMCB) and legislators to come up with a new plan to cope with a $579 million budget deficit. The board, which was set to meet on Monday, pushed back a vote on the service cuts package a week, to next Monday, Dec.14.
