The MBTA issued a warning yesterday to the dispatcher who added some unauthorized holiday cheer to Park Street Station by programming Red Line message boards to display the lyrics to “Deck the Halls,’’ accompanied by a robotic reading of the carol over that station’s public address system.

Twit has often been a word used derogatively as meaning a person with lightweight brain power... Seems that with this tale of some bored student equipped with an electronic gimcrack... and hundreds of theater goers with similar devices and mind capacities - we are to be subjeced to barrages of nonsense that can lead to trouble even for holiday cheered employees. The T chief lied about punishment for the Deck the Halls typist, but the student with the gimcrack got away with nothing more than her self-aggrandizing story in the newspaper. Justice minimized is justice denied (paraphrase).
What a refreshing change. Good for Davey for imparting a little holiday spirit. He seems to understand it makes little sense to punish the one MBTA worker who actually seemed to want to improve the commuter experience. Most of the time, Park Street seems like the entrance to a coal mine.
