The announcement marks the long-awaited rollout of the T’s new fare system that is years behind schedule and hundreds of millions over budget.

Since awarding an $83 million contract in 2019 to the German firm BBR, the T has paid the company $18 million but has not seen any meaningful progress.

The MBTA’s board of directors unanimously approved a budget Tuesday of $3 billion for the upcoming fiscal year that requires, as in years past, the agency to drain its entire rainy day fund just to cover day-to-day expenses.

Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation Monica Tibbits-Nutt opts to drive a MassDOT-provided electric car to downtown Boston when the job demands.

T funding crisis solutions abound, study shows. Political will, not so much.

The average Boston driver spent 88 hours stuck in traffic in 2023, 10 more than the year before, putting the Hub in the top five most congested cities in the United States, according to a study.

The long awaited new payment method is more than six years in the making and part of a larger new fare collection system that will eventually include commuter rail lines and ferries.

The city aims to expand the bike lane network so that by the end of next year, half of residents live within a 3-minute walk of a safe and connected bike route.

Boston’s subways may not be mistaken for Tokyo-like speed and efficiency anytime soon, but measurable progress can be seen.

As climate change worsens, rail experts warn that heat-related delays will worsen too.
