This thesis takes the case of the United States' oldest subway system-Boston's T-and explores how and why its spaces and regulations over their appropriate use have changed over time in response to public perceptions, political battles, and broader social forces.

This study analyzed ridership data, passenger comfort and service reliability metrics as defined by the MBTA’s Service Delivery Policy, bus travel speeds and locations of delay, the conditions of rail and bus stops and stations, and recent passenger survey data for MBTA transit services.
