WBZ reports.

The Globe reports the T is rolling out a credit-card system at the parking facilities at four large subway parking facilities and one commuter-rail stop this month.

You snooze you lose? Original.

UPDATE: The person who took the photo says it was at 11 a.m., Saturday, not near midnight.

Last night, MBTA Transit Police tweeted a request: If you see anybody on the T who looks like they could use shelter in this heat, give them a call.

Shortly before midnight, somebody tweeted the above photo to the police, added:

looks like someone needs shelter, or a bed

Redheadedgirl IDed the location:

It's park street, on the Red Line level- you can tell from the pillar.

Steve Annear reports the T is now investigating.

A fare-hike protest that began outside the Park Street T stop this evening ended at Chinatown station on the Orange Line, where 25 protesters held open the fare gates on the inbound side and cheered when maybe 10 people went through the open gates - although some pressed their Charlie Cards to the readers anyway.

Northbound Orange Line riders reported more delays during this afternoon's rush.

Matt Grabowski tweets it happened at Dudley and Warren around 9:30 a.m. and that at least 12 people were injured. The Boston Fire Department reports several people were taken to local hospitals, with all expected to survive. The bus plowed into a trailer set up for the production crew of a Sandra Bullock movie being filmed in Dudley Square.

Filmogaphy: Bullock, of course, previously starred in a movie about an exploding bus, as Jendepo182 notes.

Boston and Transit police are investigating a stabbing around 9 a.m. at the Ashmont Red Line station in which a woman was attacked with a pen. The suspect is described as a black male, 35-40, with a full beard, wearing blue jeans, black sneakers and possibly a burgundy shirt, last seen walking inbound on Dot. Ave. carrying a jacket in a plastic bag.

UPDATE: The T reports the pass problem has been fixed in time for the evening rush.

There were two dead trains on the Red Line this morning. Meanwhile, Kristin MacDougall tweets she asked a woman at a customer-service window at Downtown Crossing what to do about the fact that her July pass didn't work:

Woman at T Cust Svc window said: Bad batch of July passes indeed went out. Should work in 2 days. Till then, duck or piggyback.

A toast to confederation! Oh, wait, wrong July 1 holiday. No parades, no little free boxes of mints, just higher fares.
