  MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY v. U.S.
Because this court agrees that MBTA is entitled to recover only the amount it would have cost to replace the Headhouse floors with new wooden floors meeting minimum building code requirements, not the cost of the concrete floors actually installed, this court affirms the judgment with respect to that conclusion.
Second, the Court of Federal Claims concluded that MBTA was entitled to recover, under section 2.2.1h of Exhibit 1 of the Design Agreement, the amount it would have cost to replace the Headhouse wooden floors with new wooden floors meeting the minimum building code requirements, but not the cost of concrete floors.
On the other hand, MBTA did not definitively know that the terrazzo floor cracking was the result of design error until June 1990, when Stone and Webster presented its report attributing 84% of the cracking to design error and 16% to a combination of contractor and designer error.

 Jews for Jesus Inc. v. Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
It explained that the MBTA could not require a license to engage in ordinary speech like handshaking or greeting and that the authorization requirement did not promote the Authority's avowed interests in public safety and evenhanded access to the subway stations for First Amendment activities.
The Authority, moreover, boasts the ability to redeploy its personnel quickly because it maintains a number of police officers throughout the system, who can be diverted to a station on short radio notice.
On appeal, the Authority concedes that the blanket restriction against greeting and handshaking is unreasonable.

It shall be understood that the Contractor shall be responsible for all costs of labor and material for defect identification and location, and for the removal, repair, or replacement of defective parts, and for alterations, repairs, tests, and adjustments in connection therewith, made to obtain specified AFC System performance.
The substantial continuing responsibilities of the AFC contractor during installation and testing prior to final acceptance by the MBTA serve as a significant indication that the AFC system will be functionally different from that which would result from mere assembly of the elements or materials.
