No wonder, whenever I get gas
No wonder, whenever I get gas at the Hess on Old Colony, all of the people in T uniforms are driving fancy BMWs and Lexus...not saying all T employees are bad, i just assumed they made bank. Now I know the real deal.
No, that's because bus
No, that's because bus drivers in Boston make a ton of money without selling drugs. In fact, this particular incident is made stupider by the fact that she probably made a very comfortable living on the T's salary.
Generous salary? Not for this lady.
The MBTA salary is public information, quick google search reveals she made 46K in '08, the latest information I could find. Something tells me she wasn't driving a BMW off of 50 grand a year.
