Cutting $475+ million from a transit agency that's already looking at 9 figure deficits going forward doesn't seem like a good way to improve our public transit

Why are you putting the burden of a state agency's funding on the city of Boston?

Yes it is, which matches what the city of Boston says.

MBTA is a state agency, BPD is not. They have different funding sources.
