MBTA

MBTA

  Since 1897, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has operated mass transit in Boston under a variety of diferent names. Four color-coded rapid transit lines run through the heart of Boston, one of which runs as streetcars once it emerges from the tunnels. The MBTA also operates a large bus network and even commuter boats from Boston Harbor.
When the big railroads yielded their long-distance operations to Amtrak, they also ceased to operate commuter service. The MBTA took over the New Haven's service to the south and the Boston & Maine's service to the north.
