Bringing in the MBTA

Dear Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority,

Are General Manager Grabauskas and Secretary Cohen familiar with the recent initiative by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York to use large flying rabbits to relieve subway congestion? I think that a similar program would be welcome and successful in our fair city of Boston (and the larger Metropolitan area). Especially in light of continued delays to MBTA line extensions mandated to counteract the environmental impact of the Big Dig, the implementation of flying rodents of unusual size could be a quick fix.

With September 25th being the 20th anniversary of The Princess Bride, Boston has an unprecedented opportunity to celebrate an icon of popular culture and provide work for the refugees of the Fire Swamp. We all know that there isn’t much work for rodents of unusual size these days, so there may even be a federal grant to cover the implementation costs. Good press, fewer grumpy commuters, and a city-wide celebration of interspecies partnership – it’s a win-win-win!

I would love to discuss this plan with you in greater detail!

Sincerely,
Virginia
