Rail transit in Boston can be traced back through the
1800's. This historic city is the site of the first transit subway
in the United States. In 1947, the various private trolley and transit
lines were consolidated and placed under government control in 1947.
This led to the eventual creation of the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (MBTA) in the 1960's This agency is currently
in charge of rapid transit, bus, commuter boat, and commuter rail in the
greater Boston area. The MBTA, or known locally as the "T", operates
four rapid transit lines and numerous commuter rail lines in and
around Boston.
