I loathe mandatory extra expenses, and I don't think most people are very
fond of them, either (especially students). That said, $10/month is such a
good deal that I suspect a decent amount of folks would _choose_ to buy
passes each month. Why do they feel the need to make this mandatory?
(Sure, some people don't get out much, but if someone wants to be a
reclusive tool, that's their choice to make.)

Subject: Mandatory T passes?
According to the front page of the Tech, there's a preliminary proposal for
requiring all MIT students and staff to pay $10/month in exchange for
universal
T passes. This was the first I'd heard of this, though apparently grad
students
have been talking about it for a while. What are people's opinions on this?
