About

Have you ever walked into your workplace after commuting on the T and said to your coworkers, “You’re not going to believe this! Today a professionally dressed woman got on my train at Kendall, sat down, and started reading the Metro”? Probably not. But I bet you’ve told them about the time you saw a dog dressed as Darth Vader, the time you saw a woman trying to bring her tuba on the 66 Bus during rush hour, or the time you showed up to take the Green Line and nobody was wearing pants!

Weird MBTA is a collection of the strange, perplexing, and always hilarious sights of Boston’s mass transit system. From keytar bears to sad clown accordionists, the subway tunnels and bus routes are home to the city’s most unique characters. Looking for MBTA hacks? We have those too. If you see something on the MBTA that makes you giggle or rethink loading up that Charlie Card, send it to weirdmbta@gmail.com for your chance to be named “Commuter of the Week.” If you see something weird, share something weird!
