What we are

Friends of Eng is a group of MBTA riders campaigning for a statue of General Manager Phillip Eng on Boston Common. We have no affiliation with the MBTA, the Commonwealth, or Mr. Eng. We started this because the T got much better, and we think the people responsible deserve a permanent marker.

Boilerplate
