Yes, there is a planning meeting with the T-Rider's
Union<http://www.ace-ej.org/tru>at 6 pm on Tuesday at 165 Broadway in
Somerville (Somerville Youth
Center) to plan opposition to these cuts. I and some other members of
Street and Outreach will be there. There also is a group called Students
Against T Cuts <http://studentsagainsttcuts.org/> that is organizing around
this issue. This has the potential to be a really big issue, as it effects
literally most of the population of Boston, and much of the surrounding
areas as well.
Oh forgot to mention, that under one of the plans more than 100 bus lines
will be cut. Under the other fares will increase more, mostly for Students,
Elderly and the disabled. The Ride, which services people that have extreme
mobility issues, will increase by 500% under this plan.
IS,
BJ
