Controversy over MBTA fare hikes, cutbacks

In the great city of Boston, some costumed figures have shown up to public MBTA hearings to voice their concerns along with other good citizens. Are they budgetary avengers?

Presumably, the MBTA's $161 million budget deficit that threatens to raise fare rates and cut back service.
