Gov. Deval says NO MBTA FARE INCREASE FOR NEXT TWO YEARS 
  After thinking about it...could this lead to serious cuts in bus service? By keeping fares the same would there not be some kind of consequence especially in this economy?

Boston: Essex St Bus Lane 
  Walking around Boston Chinatown for the first time in a while, I note that on Essex St, one way Eastbound, the left side parking meters have been removed and that lane is now a solid reddish tan and marked for buses only.
