I am a native Washingtonian, recently transplanted into the wonderful city of Boston. I grew up taking the DC Metro, and was originally skeptical of the public transport up here in Boston. However, since being in this city I have come to realize that the T is actually the better form of public transportation. I originally thought that the T could never compare to the Metro, but I soon began to see that the T reigns supreme over the metro. Here are the 5 reasons why I have come to love the T:
1. The scary noises and weird turns
With the loud screeching and the turning of the cars every outing is like a trip on Space Mountain!
2. The limited amount of seating
The constant struggle to remain standing because there are no seats is a great leg workout!
I am actually completely serious when I say it is amazing to be able to go anywhere without worrying about peak times or paying what feels like $100 to go across the city.
4. The fact that you can eat on the T!
It really helps you slow down and take a moment on my trip when people are standing on the left side, the walking side(!!), of the escalator.
