After a rocky few months of mishaps for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, and after a nearly three-month wait, Massachussettes Governor Charlie Baker has finally appointed all of the seven members required for the recently enacted plan to establish an MBTA Board of Directors.  Image via Twiter.

After public pressure, accidents, and all manner of other problems, Charlie Baker finally appoints all of the members to the MBTA Board of Directors.

In the wake of several months of problems at the MBTA which were arguably only topped by its near-collapse during the Winter of 2015, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker has named the final five members to the somewhat recently established seven-person board as the latest attempt to make the T’s buses, subways, and trains both run on time as well as safely do so. 

And for a local angle, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch was named to the board earlier given his decade-long additional role as the Chair of the MBTA Advisory Board.

Apparently, Mayor Koch’s apparent lack of making any obvious impact upon seeing the MBTA at least mitigate its long ongoing dysfunction was not seen as a detriment to his appointment onto the new plan for an MBTA Board of Directors.

Some things never change at the T …

For the names of all of those named to take on what Hercules would surely refuse to even merely but consider, see them here.
