..."The Federal Transit Administration launched a review of Boston's subway system in April following several accidents that led to injuries or death within the past year. The federal agency last month issued a series of directives to immediately address "longstanding issues" with the system's "overall safety program and safety culture."
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said Thursday that the fire "is more evidence of an aging transit system in crisis."
"A broken MBTA threatens the safety of our community and the future of our city and region," she said. "I'll be reaching out to my colleagues across the region to more aggressively partner with the state on rapid systemwide upgrades."
