Checking in with MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said back in June that traffic and congestion are back to pre-pandemic levels. But even with all those cars on the road, MBTA ridership hasn't bounced back as quickly. That's big trouble for the T, with one recent report calling the agency's future a "fiscal calamity." We take listener calls and talk with MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak about what it will take to get riders back, and the latest updates on a handful of recent incidents that may have shaken some potential riders' confidence in the system.
