Lack of Accessibility makes the MBTA a class action lawsuit away from properly fixing this and other stations.

The mbta is more accessible than other comparable American transit systems, if you think that’s not the case, I encourage you to take the Orange line and listen to the beeping

I agree that it is the case, thanks to the settlement of the Feingold suit in 2006, and the two decades of investment since then.

New York only in the last year settled a similar accessibility suit, and is three decades away from coming into substantial compliance, under the settlement funding process.

And has another active suits relating to buses.

The MBTA has known the stairs were crumbling for years. The station itself is accessible by multiple other at grade and level entrances from the sidewalk.
