MBTA

The MBTA is the oldest subway system in the US. It’s a great place and generally speaking, the boot is nothing serious whether it’s a T employee or the MBTA police.

You can smoke cigs on the red line and drink beers on any train.

The MBTA can get you from point A to point B at a reasonable pace and at a reasonable price. Of course you should still try to avoid paying, in order to spend your money on more important things. $2.75 is about the price of a 24oz Guiness extra stout at the downtown crossing Walgreens, my preferred train beer.

Tips and tricks for evading your fare:

  • Dangle your skateboard behind the fare gate while standing in the one next to it.
  • Try to pay for the bus in nickels and dimes, half the time they’ll just wave you on.
  • Just hop that shit.
  • Obtain a chargecard and bend it till the RFID in it breaks, then play dumb as to why your card doesn’t work (works for bus and trolley).
  • The commuter rail can’t accept $100 bills so if you got one of those you can go all the way to Providence for free.
  • When all else fails ask politely to ride for free. People are pretty nice.
