Furthering our theory that nobody really cares about rider opinion and the T's administration is just a bunch of political play, Deval Patrick has canceled the rest of the MBTA public workshops that were scheduled to debate the fare increase. With supposed fare-hike-promoter Dan Grabauskas out of the picture, and any increases off the table until after a financial review of the T, there wasn't much point to the hearings, anyway. It might be a nice gesture if the MBTA at least pretended to listen to riders, but we suppose the agency is just being honest about its lack of concern for its users.
