MBTA Cash Management
While I am apparently required to have exact change, even though exact change is an exact annoyance, the Boston T isn’t even sophisticated enough to take my money in a 21st Century way.
Check out this old school cash box at a random T station.
Not only does that seem that I could make my own change if need be, might the MBTA workers have a little too much temptation to count the cash with a “one for them, one for me” pocket-the-cash action?
Maybe you might wanna see if Boston can upgrade - down in DC, we’ve been whipping out Smartrip cards for years now. Hell, we can even refill the cards on the bus!

Just another example of how backward the “T” is. Picking these little tidbits out isn’t hard.
I would like to see what would happen to the general pathetic nature of out transportation system if a serious attempt to privatize it was launched. Can you imagine the indignation?
