Tbh you can also pick up biking here. It's very doable compared to most places.

Ride it regularly enough and your intimidation will quickly turn to seething resentment, followed eventually (timing depending on your disposition) by a kind of hyper-localized transit nihilism where your commute becomes like a fugue state. Anyway, welcome to Boston, I recommend anything but the MBTA if possible 😅

Boston public transportation is intimidating for sure and it always has been, for the most part. Never rely on it to the point of taking it personal when it fails you. Second, try to keep in mind it is there for the sole purpose to serve you and to transport you and the folks in Boston and that is all, plain and simple. Don’t have anything valuable in plain sight that could be easily snatched away from you *bonus advice*

You can sign up for T alerts for what line you want. There’s lots of 3rd party apps that help navigate the T. Know that there’s multiple diversions between now and December for track work. So pay attention to alerts.

Just wait a week and that'll morph to rage hate.

We all are. 😊

That’s because if doesn’t work and sometimes it catches fire

Go with the flow and never rely on said MBTA trains to always work. This is bossston and you're in a constant state of 90⁰ in December snow in July apparently tornados might spook ya randomly maybe a shaky shaky with an earthy quake.. hail bigger than basketballs and spring full of rain and mud and bs. Welcome enjoy your stay. Taxachuuusettes welcomes everyone.

I’ve lived here for 78 years and it still intimidates me

There s also an app that let you know the time the shuttle busses and trains comes or just look at google maps it tells you also jejjee.
