The T logo was lifted essentially wholesale from Stockholm, Sweden's system, where it stands for "tunnelbana"

Great reporting! I did some research on this on my own prior and thought it was so interesting! This interview is very valuable.

All of the little glitchy 8-bit sounds that go along with the visual transitions and title cards are extremely obnoxious and detract from this video. Instead of being immersed in the story, I felt like I was losing at Pac-Man

I think the line colors and station themes were the best and greatest innovations. New York City MTA, take note!

Anybody remember when the T was supposed to free after the big dig was completed? Here's what I don't get at all. The T is paid for by different streams of taxes then the mbta expects residents to pay exorbitant fares. That's double dipping. That's incredibly wrong. Here's the worst part though in China people ride around on a commuter rail with the very latest in cutting edge technology but in Boston we ride around on a commuter rail from the nineteen forty's clankety clanking down the line that is filthy and usually smells like urine. Every time you ride the T in Boston just know you're paying twice. Now they're cutting services. When will the mbta be appeased? When we're paying triple for one ride????
