    The MBTA also needs at least an estimated $24.5 billion to bring its infrastructure to a state of good repair.

    I knew that the MBTA had built up a huge pile of deferred maintenance on its infrastructure due to past funding shortfalls, but this is enormous. I commute to work every day via the T (commuter rail to red line), and it hasn’t been too bad lately. However, I no longer live downtown, so I don’t really use the system much beyond my commute these days.
