On the one hand, props to the MBTA for coming up with a way to keep Partisans in Boston. On the other hand, is a bus station really the best place for a statue showing disheartened, starving people going nowhere fast?

And if they're considering permanent installation, there's a few broken escalators in the Davis Square station which'll never move again... those guys could represent the eternal struggle of the stair-climbing commuters.

I, for one, am thrilled with all the complaints they've gotten this year, the over-crowded B-line trains and dilapidated T-stations, that the MBTA is really making an effort to put our money to good use!
