Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
Some travelers have brought up concerns about safety on the MBTA.  In a 2011 article, Boston Magazine's Jason Schwartz described serious concerns about safety issues on the MBTA - like train fires, and crucial safety issues which he said the MBTA had not addressed.  He wrote: "The system is broke, broken, and about to get a whole lot worse.  No one on Beacon Hill [in the Massachusetts government] wants to address any of this ... History shows that it takes a tragedy - deaths - to fix something as basic as infrastructure.  Hopefully Massachusetts won't wait for that."
