    According to a press release by Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), at 4 PM this Friday, March 23, high school aged members of CPA’s Chinese Youth Initiative and other students in Chinatown will sit outside Tufts New England Medical Center(TNEMC) station to protest the proposed massive fare increases and service cuts by MBTA. They are hoping to raise awareness of this issue that will impact lives of many people who depend on public transportation.

    On March 14, about 50 elder residents in Chinatown protected outside Mass. Transportation Department building on Kneeland street while a meeting on the proposed fare hike was going on. They were joined by over 100 protesters from various other groups. Shi-Ang Yee, president of Chinatown Resident Association(CRA), expressed his outrage about the proposed fare hikes. “Public transportation was neglected by the government for a long time when billions of dollars was spent on the Big Dig. The problem should not be passed on to riders by raising the fare,” he said.

    Members from CPA and CRA were protesting outside state transportation building on March 14.
