Terrific recounting of Boston's transit history!

If you haven't seen this yet, it's good, not amazing. The collection of old images is great. The best part was that it wasn't full of the car bad, bus bad line we hear from trolley fans. The historians (experts?) were honest about the drawbacks and poor condition of the old system.

But brownstones and boroughs are New York things, some editing with an older local won't go wrong.

It would appear that the video was made by a youngster, so I think that we need to give credit where credit is due. Considering, he did a fine job. Yes, there are a lot of contradictions (street running), mistakes (Metropolitan Transportation Authority ?) and non-Boston expressions used. Is it similar to an O.T. Cummings piece ? No, but it's a superb job by one who will undoubtably get better as he matures.
