When I went to college in Boston, I use to ride the MTA on Sunday in the winter from Mattapan to Harvard and then back & forth to Dorchester in the winter.... in those days it was a quarter to ride from Mattapan to Harvard Sq... and you could just walk to the other side and head back without paying any more...
I use to ride around on it for 5 or 6 hours ( I didn't have a car in those days) and just people watch.... it was pretty entertaining, and only cost a quarter....
I took friends to do the same thing later in college.... no one didn't have a good time... the MTA was pretty entertaining to people watch...
things were safe in those days....
