Written by W. Sidis, quite possibly the most peculiar transit buff/personality of the early twentieth century. From his 1920's book on collecting trolley transfer slips:
From subway trains at Central,
a transfer get, and go
To Allston or Brighton or
to Somerville, you know;
On cars from Brighton transfer
to Cambridge Subway east
And get a train to Park Street,
or Kendall Square, at least.
