Courtesy in Boston...it could win you some donuts...

So you heard it from the Globe...the State Secretary of Transportation is helping to begin a new "courtesy campaign" on the MBTA system. And while signs will do some good to remind employees to be friendly and riders to give up their seats for, say, pregnant women, the real hook that has a small shot of getting Boston's commuters to be nicer is the plan to have undercover agents distribute Dunkin Donuts gift cards to committers of random acts of courtesy. If there's one thing Bostonians like better than donuts and coffee, it's free donuts and coffee. Get ready to jump out of that seat.
