How the MBTA is Regaining The Trust of Transit Riders in Boston

Описание: This week we had the chance to speak with Andrew Cassidy from the MBTA. We covered everything from the agency conquering the slow zone problem, new modernization efforts, rolling out tap to pay, and the importance of communication for transit agencies.
