Default Yeah, if they catch you sneaking in the back of the T. ;-)

C'mon it's only $.85! ;-)

Honestly, can they give you a driving citation?

Default Yeah, if you go to Northeastern. :P (j/k). :)

I'm about 99% sure they can't. But I bet they'd be happy to call the police if the situation warranted it.

Default I don't see why not

While I doubt they spend much time looking for traffic violations, AFAIK they have full police jurisdiction in any community serviced by the MBTA.

I think it's a full dollar now. It's worth trying to sneak on instead of paying the extra $.15

Jeesh, back when I went to college, it was 85 cents! And the T went uphill both ways! ;-)

"I swear officer, I didn't mean to drag race with the trolley..."
