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

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.

Public transit should be free

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

Good, use this instead of Uber.

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?

Good! Make it every friday and saturday and dozens of lives will be saved a year at least.

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.
