The worst most horrible excuse for a public transportation system in America. Here is a fun excerpt from the Globe wishing our subway a happy birthday:
Boston Globe – Well, well, Boston subway, you don’t look a day over 111. But another special day has indeed arrived, like an extra Green Line leaving Fenway. America’s oldest subway system, now run by the MBTA, turns 112 today.
The first underground ride took place on Sept. 1. 1897 — between Boylston and Park Street stations. About 100 people were aboard and, according to Globe accounts from the time, cheered wildly when they descended. It must have been running on time that day.
The comments are definitely the best part of the article though, so make sure to read through.
