Boston Globe - MBTA fires employees over bus inspection scandal

Quote:
The MBTA today fired three superintendents and moved to fire five union-represented managers for allegedly manipulating mileage records to avoid performing regular maintenance inspections on more than 200 buses in the T fleet.


Quote:
The T disciplined three superintendents, one supervisor, and four forepersons. In addition to regular visual inspections by the drivers, the buses are supposed to undergo full inspections every 6,000 miles at the garages. But T officials believe some of the buses were going as long as 35,000 miles between inspections in a practice that they believe dates at least back to late 2007.
