How to Ride the T (Without Being a Jerk)

More than 700,000 people ride the T every day. And if you’re one of them, you know how crowded and noisy the vehicles can be. In this video, we asked some veteran T riders for basic etiquette tips for being a considerate commuter. Take a look. Your fellow riders will thank you.

the T is the entire MBTA

[@rachelsoule4843]

"The T" refers to the subway. It's four lines (red, orange, green, blue). There are other trains & buses but they aren't usually called the T.

Just our nickname of the MBTA
Example: We are taking the T to Boston

@1:20.... lol.... "loop things"... Try looking up strap hangers.... and what about... the green line is free going InBound and you need to pay going Outbound. How about explaining that INBOUND mean going toward downtown Boston. Try to be a bit more thorough BU
