BOSTON — After scrapping extended-hours service on weekends, the MBTA control board on Wednesday directed staff to seek measures for improving transit service for racial minorities and low-income riders.
Those measures, posed as mitigation for the late-night service elimination after action by federal regulators, could feature greater frequency on early morning trips, including bus routes to East Boston and Revere, according to official T documents.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says he still maintains a "path toward victory" in his Democratic presidential bid against Hillary Clinton, rejecting suggestions that she has all but sewn up the party's nomination.
"I don't believe they have an insurmountable lead," Sanders said Thursday in a phone interview with The Associated Press from Arizona, where he was campaigning. "Secretary Clinton has done phenomenally well in the Deep South and in Florida. That's where she has gotten the lion's share of votes. And I congratulate her for that. But we're out of the Deep South now."
