Pressed to say whether the MBTA will pursue near-term fare hikes, the authority's chief administrator said Sunday that "everything here is on the table" while also calling for better collection of existing fares.
During an interview on WCVB's "On the Record," Brian Shortsleeve said Green Line trains lack scanners to read fare cards if riders board through the back doors of trains and said a commuter rail rider from Belmont told him he only pays for about a third of his trips.
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian police carried out raids throughout the tense capital, detaining 16 people as the city remained locked down under high alert Monday. In Paris, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he will ask for parliamentary approval for the U.K. to join airstrikes against Islamic State extremists in Syria.
Raids across Brussels capped a tense day with hundreds of troops patrolling and authorities hunting for one or more suspected extremists, including Salah Abdeslam, a fugitive since being named a suspect in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks.
