Definitions

1

Universal Boston name for the MBTA — the subway, trolley, and bus network that holds the city together with rubber bands and prayer. Color-coded lines (Red, Orange, Blue, Green) that residents will trash to your face and defend to outsiders. Comes with a thriving subgenre of delay-meme Twitter and the eternal question: is the Green Line a subway or a streetcar?

“Forget driving in, just take the T — Red Line to Park Street and walk.”
