Boston, Massachusetts is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. The city itself contains over 600,000 people, and with all of the surrounding cities taken into account, the population of the area exceeds 4 million. The city also attracts more than 12 million visitors each year who come to Boston to experience the unparalleled history and diversity that the area offers, including the ever-popular Boston Commons, South End and the famous Fenway Park. With so much history and attraction, there's no wonder transportation remains a large concern.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) operates the nation's oldest and 4th largest transportation system in the country. "The T", as it's known locally, was created in 1964 to run the already functioning transit system. Today it provides transportation to the entire greater Boston area by means of subways, busses, ferries and the commuter rail lines. The commuter rail provides train service to outlying points west, north, and south of Boston, including Providence, Rhode Island. The commuter rail is owned by the MBTA, but managed and operated by the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR).
