    Those 4 teens should first fix mbta’s IT issues. It sounds like they are smarter than the folks at mbta.

      It probably has less to do with how smart the MBTAs IT team is and more likely how much the MBTA is willing to spend on IT.

      That’s like saying a escape artist should be in charge of building the prison. Ideally they work together and provide both perspectives.
