About a half dozen people tasked with cash-handling duties within the MBTA urged the transit agency's overseers on Monday not to outsource the agency's money room operations.
Looking at an overhaul of the MBTA's fare collection systems, agency officials have considered employing a private vendor that could take responsibility when fare gates fail. Under the current system, when fare gates are stuck open, the T can miss out on rider revenue.
JERUSALEM (AP) — A team of experts has begun a historic renovation at the spot where Christians believe Jesus was buried, overcoming longstanding religious rivalries to carry out the first repairs at the site in over 200 years.
The project, which began Monday, will focus on repairing, reinforcing and preserving the Edicule — the ancient chamber housing Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is the first such work at the tomb since 1810, when the shrine was restored and given its current shape following a fire.
