PLEASE help in the fight "against" the MBTA...

We can't let them get away with taking their troubles out on their consumers. PLEASE write to them and/or call them - we can't let this service keep getting worse and more expensive:

from them to me in response to me asking them how they could possibly consider taking away weekend commuter rail service:

"I have read your email regarding the possible service cuts in the commuter rail service.

The announcement and press release about an increase in MBTA fares along with a possible reduction in evening and weekend service on the commuter rail are options that are being discussed by senior managers at the MBTA and the Office of Transportation. It has been well publicized that the MBTA currently has a 160million dollar deficit going into next year which it needs to reduce.

I suspect that there will be an opportunity for passengers and residents to attend public meetings regarding these proposals. Past experience has shown that any such meetings are normally posted on the MBTA website beforehand. www.mbta.com

Thank you for your comments; please be assured that I have forwarded your concerns to the MBTA for consideration.



Sincerely,

Linda Dillon
MBCR Customer Service Manager"
