I'd no idea fare evasion was that bad on the GLX. I guess I thought much more people had monthly passes or other types of passes.
I'm only anti fare if the implementation and collection of the fare costs more than the revenue it generates.
The proposal above was to hire 10 people at 100k each P/A to police the green line above ground.

Meanwhile the neighborhood is left with a hole in the ground.
Any wonder there are none sympathetic to their cause.
Also, didnt take a rocket...
All the MLS values are artificially inflated because it a closed league.
If there was a ESL (which I hope there never is) with no relegation, Inters value would soar.
ok, thanks for letting me know Boston has good sports teams.
And has more bigger teams than Stoke!
The stadium will be full.
The construction will fund a site cleanup
The site will be used year round.
It will drive more development in an area ripe for development.
The only slight negative will...
But that's 162 home games of the same sport.
That's probably, what, a game a day for the season?
