Night Owl Frustrations in Broad Daylight

MBTA.jpg The MBTA is having superfun budget proposals this week, and they may be putting the Night Owl service out of its misery. Not without a fight, though. According to the Herald, City Councilor Michael P. Ross is organizing a rally at MBTA Headquarters (10 Park Plaza) at 11 this morning to keep the buses running, arguing that they are necessary for safety and late night workers.

The Night Owl service, for those who stumble home before midnight, runs Friday and Saturday nights until 2:30, with buses running along the subway lines and five local bus routes. Bostonist remembers being excited about the idea back in 2001, but when we actually had to use it, it was really an expensive and confusing mess with a layover at Government Center and lots of drunken baffoons.

Those MBTA officials have got it right: if there's anything Boston needs, it's more drunken morons driving around Boston after the bars close.
