Boston has never maintained *anything* very well.  If you had to deal
with their labor situation (27 different crafts unions) and you could
get the Feds to kick in up to 80% of cost for new capital items, i.e.
rolling stock, you too might tend to slack off on maintenance. 

The boston PCC's are 30+ years old.  Compare that with the average age
of the Boston bus fleet:  7 years.
