Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:54:10 GMT

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu pushed Bluebikes as an alternative travel option for residents during this month’s Red Line shutdown, when rolling out a new initiative that cuts the cost of those annual bike-share memberships by more than 50%.Under the new program, the majority of residents who sign up for a Boston Bike Pass will be charged $60 for an annual Bluebikes membership, a 53% reduction over the regular $129 rate.The discount is only available to residents who have not had an annual Bluebikes membership for the past three years. That requirement doesn’t extend, however, to income-eligible residents, who will see their annual membership drop from $50 to $5 if they sign up for the city’s new bike pass, Wu’s office said.“We are incredibly excited to make this more accessible for all of our residents,” Wu said at a Thursday press conference outside City Hall. “We know there’s tremendous hunger and appetite to get out there and find faster, more convenient ways to get around.”Related A...

Our family will miss him. But I know he’s in a better place,” Ronald Isley said in a statement released Thursday by an Isley Brothers publicist. Further details were not immediately available.A Cincinnati native, Rudolph Isley began singing in church with brothers Ronald and O’Kelly (another sibling, Vernon, died at age 13) and was still in his teens when they broke through in the late 1950s with “Shout,” a secularized gospel rave that was later immortalized during the toga party scene in “Animal House.” The Isleys scored again in the early 1960s with the equally spirited “Twist and Shout,” which the Beatles liked so much they used it as the closing song on their debut al...

Within hours of the horrific attack by Hamas, the U.S. began moving warships and aircraft to the region to be ready to provide Israel with whatever it needed to respond.A second U.S. carrier strike group departs from Norfolk, Virginia, on Friday.
