In all honesty, I\u2019m the last kind of person who should write anything about the T. In my life, I live by the idea that if I can walk there, I should. You add in access to headphones and a great new playlist, and the world becomes my oyster. That being said, Boston does have a tendency to become<\/span> very very<\/span><\/i> cold to the point that walking becomes substantially less desirable. That\u2019s when the T becomes your best friend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I won\u2019t sugarcoat it. Is the T late sometimes? Can it get packed? Can it be somewhat confusing, especially when using it the first few times? All true. Don\u2019t even get me started on how going from West Campus to Cambridge looks like on the Green\/Red Line. But I argue that the fact we are lucky enough to have something be late at all is a great privilege!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A safe and consistent form of transportation, the T can be the gateway to any great night and the under appreciated hero to the end of any great day. As someone who grew up in a car-dependent California, I give a double thumbs up to Boston Public Transportation. I would be remiss to not mention that the Amtrak is also great (if not a little too expensive).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, to all BU students who get a chance to go to London\u2026.everything feels lesser than the double decker red buses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s all for now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cheers!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By James McIntyre In all honesty, I\u2019m the last kind of person who should write anything about the T.
