Then on St Patrick’s day parking in Boston is free but the T isn’t. I guess they want to reward drunk drivers? Pretty dumb.

Relax. Your takeaway from this is really to spin into a negative because they don't do it for every holiday involving drinking?

To give a different takeaway: prioritizing free parking over free alternative forms of transit definitely gives the signal that they'd rather you drive. Maybe we should subsidize safer modes of transit than driving?

They say 9PM in their announcements but most drivers or operators start it around 8 PM

This is good news. Keeps the drunkard revelers and the rest of safe on the roads. But, I feel really sorry for the poor bastards who have to clean these vomit-spewed cars after the celebrations.

They do this every new years, from (iirc) 8-830pm to 2am.
