A delightfully out-of-date book about the MBTA. It's ironic reading about how amazing the MBTA used to be considering its $160 million debt and pending draconian fare increases and service cuts. I loved the photos of all the old train cars, although I'm pretty sure the "new and improved for the 1970s" cars on the orange line are still in use today!
