The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often referred to as the MBTA or The T, is the public operator of most bus, subway, commuter rail, and ferry routes in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area. Officially a "body politic and corporate, and a political subdivision" of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it was formed in 1964. Its immediate predecessor, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), was immortalized by The Kingston Trio in the popular folk-protest lament "M.T.A." Locals call it "The T", after its logo, the letter T in a circle, adopted in the 1960s and inspired by the Stockholm metro. In 2008, the system averaged 1.3 million passenger trips each weekday, of which the subway averaged 598,200, making it the fourth busiest subway system in the United States. The Green Line and Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line comprise the busiest light-rail system in the U.S., with a weekday ridership of 255,100.
The MBTA operates an independent law enforcement agency, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Police. In 2010, 33% of workers in the city proper commuted by public transport.
Known popularly as the "T", Boston's MBTA subway trains provide a vital role to the Commonwealth, moving thousands of people around each day. Here, we take a brief look at the Blue, Green, and Red subway lines as they zoom around underground. You will also visit one of the first subway stations in America - Boylston (opened in 1897).

https://www.youtube.com/user/EpicFilmsX The wait is finally over, folks! On March 21, 2016, the MBTA opened the renovated Government Center Station in order to make it more visually appealing and comply with ADA guidelines. I went a little bit after rush hour to avoid lots of people and to get better shots of the station itself. Everything about this new masterpiece is shown here, all from the inside and outside! The MBTA seriously did an amazing job renovating this station, no doubt!

I went to see the future site of Boston Landing Station. You can see the headquarters of New Balance at the top left corner in some of the clips, including the first one. I sped some parts up where the trains were moving slow for a long time. Enjoy!

MBA C-1 (Canadian Pacific, 1977) leads the MBTA Work Extra through Wilmington, Massachusetts, on a beautiful Thursday afternoon in June. Trailing behind the caboose are eleven EMD F40PH locomotives belonging to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority: MBTX 1012, MBTX 1001, MBTX 1007, MBTX 1005, MBTX 1015, MBTX 1008, MBTX 1011, MBTX 1002, MBTX 1006, MBTX 1017, and MBTX 1003. Providing power from the rear of the train are MBTX 1120 (EMD GP40MC), MBTX 1070 (EMD F40PH-2C), and MBTX 3247 (EMD GP40-3). The Screamers are on their way to the Billerica Shop, where they'll be stored indefinitely. I got here at 9:00 AM to wait for this train. At 11:00 AM I left the station in order to cash a check and grab an iced coffee, not realizing that it was to follow Keolis 317 out of the Boston En...
Spent my morning and early afternoon in Franklin, MA with CommuterColin0906 to catch some Keolis. Unfortunately, with the signal failures up near South Station, most of these trains were close to OR even more than 30 minutes late! ENJOY!!!!!

this time in the evening
i can see the shadows stretching to the edge of the world
i fell off it once, into your arms
and i've never felt so out of this world
(you take me so far) so far away from here
even though my feet don't move my heart is with you there
and it's not of this world (anymore)
and it's not gonna stand still (anymore)
i will follow you
i will follow you
i will follow you
to the edge of the world
i'm ready to leave
without saying a word
i will follow you
to the edge of the world
so here i go again here i go again
i've come to the end of my strength when i thought my strength would never end
i've come to grips with my _____________

i will follow you
i will follow you
i will follow you
to the edge of the world
i'm ready to leave
without saying a word
i will follow you
and there's no greater fight than the daily fight to conquer myself
and there's no wonder why i can't get by by myself
and there's no question now i've got to stay by your side
if i'm ever gonna stay alive i've got to (i've got to)
i will follow you i will follow you
i will follow you i will follow you
i will follow you i will follow you
i will follow you i will follow you
(intrumental)
i will follow you
i will follow you
i will follow you
to the edge of the world
i'm ready to leave
without saying a word
i will follow you
to the edge of the world
i will follow you
i will follow you

to the edge of the world
i'm dying to live
you make me come alive
