This is my friend Liz and I taking the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) We are on a double decker train, yay!
I have taken public transportation all my life and have always seen a wide variety of people on the T. It tends to break down like this: The commuter rail is for the rich, white business men/women and teens who live in the suburbs. The T (not the subway, thats a sandwich shop) is for the more lower class to middle class men/women as well as elderly and kids/teens. Really, everyone rides the T if you want to get around Boston. The T bus travels both the outskirts of Boston, as well as the surrounding towns, meaning the bus travels through the rough parts and the wealthy.
In Boston, taking public transportation really isnt a sign of wealth or the lack there of. However, when riding, dont communicate or look at anyone. If someone smiles at you, they want something or they are trying to pick you up.
