Welcome to Boston in Transit
Here, we celebrate the rich history of public transportation infrastructure in Boston.
This site is built aound Boston in Transit, the book.
We've also created a map documenting the history of the MBTA's colored lines.
Our collection contains hundreds of images, ephemera, and artifacts.
Our Collection
Starting in 2019, we began the process of digitizing images from various collections. Every month we add more content, including photographs, drawings, ephemera, and more.
