Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.

Hi Love it
I absolutely love this song. It's undoubtedly a fact the MBTA has had a huge impact on Boston. Without it Boston wouldn't be what it is today, and the impact the positive impact the MBTA has on Boston is further backed by it's fan base. You guys are amazing and so is your song keep up the great work
I think the purple line is the forgotten one
I love the T
I wonder where they are now
This should be in the MBTA musical!
Hey you forgot about the silver line.
You forgot about the purple line………
rip purple line
People don't smile in Boston. Rush hour or not
For the heap of blunders that will be stop piling up the T is in rn this is well needed and memorable love this 💞
1:47 Nice beatles refrence
"I wouldn't call it fast but it ain't slow" Man this lyric aged like milk in direct sunlight.
2023 update: Green, Orange, Blue and Red, If you ride it you'll end up dead, Please I have a place I've gotta go! From Edfrd Slash Tufts down to Ruggles, Service this weekend's replaced with shuttles, I wouldn't call it fast, it's really slow!
When I lived in Boston, it seemed that the T had something against me. I'd get on a trolley and it would go out of service after 3 other trains went by. If I were Charlie, I'd wait forever 'neath the streets of Boston. Or the Red Line train that had the heat on in July - the driver could not turn it off.
For all the recent woes the MBTA has been suffering, this was a much-needed moment of cute whimsy! I love this!!
This hasn't aged well
Brilliant song, Mr Solomon. Very well composed and performed. Likewise for the video itself. Thanks for writing it and posting it. Glad I found it by following a youtube trail after a search for something else. As you probably know, the MBTA's woes continue. Yesterday our state governor announced that the Orange Line was to be closed for a month. The T has had a number of trains that simply rolled away from their parking spot. A poor soul was dragged to his death after his arm got stuck in a train door. A train burst into flames as it was crossing a bridge in East Boston. Every day brings a new delay or crash or crime. The T is in bad shape. But thanks again for your wonderful creation, which is substantial and not silly at all as Mr Silverstein recommends.
At 1:51, was that Charlie lying on the seat? Kendall-MIT, at 3:30, was where his trip started on that tragic and fateful day.
0:34 Cambridge fire department L3 can be seen. Did you see this by any chance? A red ladder truck
My 4.5 yo boy likes your video of MBTA! Thankyou.
Good Song, Bro!
This is so wholesome. Cute song.
The goat
they really hired a guy to act like a drunk guy on a train 🤣
Kazoo
oooooooooooh
MBTA
The most honestly painful video I've ever seen
illogical
I'm going to utilize the commuter rail service rather than the t when I go to college
The commuter rail is part of the T...
Da subway is my limbo 😎
that was a surprisingly fun song
MBTA Boston Feels like SEPTA Philadelphia to me.
I like the song. <sing song> Red, Blue, Orange, and Green. Its my personal limousine. Hehe. It is really cool. 😎
For everyone saying it's just about the subway, then they need to edit the title because it says MBTA Song, not MBTA Subway Song. No need to be rude to people because the creators didn't make it clear that this is strictly about the rapid transit lines even though Silver is one of them albeit BRT. Off those high horses, folks. You'll chafe your legs for sure!
That song says "Come on down to the Boston Subway." That song is nice for Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. Mass transit can be good.
What about commuter rail?
Expectations vc reality lol
that was good times
What about the Commuter Rail (Purple Line)?
That is what I'm saying.
It's not the purple line. That's just the color used to tell them apart from the rest of the system. But we get what you mean.
@@blue9multimediagroup Yeah, it's not called the purple line. People call it that even though that's not what it's called at all XD
@@blue9multimediagroup we can see why it would be called it tho cuz every other line is named by the color
@@NortheastCorridorFilms because the commuter rail goes a much further distance than the metro. It spans out to different towns and cities and some things are way different like the speed, fares, schedules, function. So it's its own separate system called the commuter rail, not the purple line
This is the Democratic Cowboy we're finally going to get that Rocky movie filmed in Brockton that's there any my phone died and might be a documenting if you going to do it I'm telling you all coronavirus again go to William mask keep your mask on we have asked see you down the road Democratic our way out
In case anyone wants the subtitles, I made a Google Doc with it: docs.google.com/document/d/1tfDK_NqIDFaaCxBWfc-theZKgSKEQd8wxzkp7f5P7UU/edit?usp=sharing Also, this should be played as MBTA ads.
This should be an advertisement for the T. Great job! When can we see another video? It’s been more than a year.
No silver line huh?
red line is best greenline is a ligh rail so HA slow
Dont you dare disrespect the first Subway system in the world! The Green line makes MBTA special, it wouldnt be without it
@@NortheastCorridorFilms ur right, the green line was the first subway system in America. Even though it’s a light rail, it has aspects of a subway
ok boston is an awsome city but the song is flat out cringe
I’m from Boston and saw this on my recommended. I love this song so much ❤️
Here, I've created the lyrics anyone can use. It's at docs.google.com/document/d/1tfDK_NqIDFaaCxBWfc-theZKgSKEQd8wxzkp7f5P7UU/edit?usp=sharing. Please reply to me if you realize I've made a mistake. Thanks, enjoy.
Nobody’s smiling at park street. They need to install some goddamned ac down there. It’s like 400° in the summer
Next stop: Copley (NO SMOKING PLEASE)
nah that's boylston
not to the rest of the world
i love the t even though i live in nyc
