With zero debate, the MBTA voted unanimously on Monday to cut late night T service in Boston on weekends. The cuts will end T service after midnight on Friday and Saturday nights, and are slated to take effect on March 18. Currently, the T stops operating at 2:00 a.m. on weekend nights.
Is this real life? Really this is just Boston saying that they don’t want to be a real city. Could you imagine this ever happening in New York? Never!
Let’s look at the tale of the tape.
Sports:
Boston: Obviously Boston ✔
NYC – Yankees suck
Subways:
Boston: ends at midnight
NYC: 24/7 ✔
Bars:
Boston: Closing time – 2am
NYC: Closing time – 4am ✔
Happy Hour:
Boston: Nope
NYC: of course! ✔
Boozy Brunch:
Boston: nada
NYC: It’s a sport! ✔
Food Delivery (per Seamless Web)
Boston: pizza
NYC: essentially everything ✔
Cabs:
Boston: Thank God for Uber
NYC: Raise your arm ✔
I have lived in both cities and really there’s no comparison, New York City wins in a landslide.
Come on Boston, be better. Please!
