The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), is a quasi-governmental organization which controls the subway, bus, and commuter rail systems in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Originally it was called the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or the MTA, as immortalized in the popular folk-protest lament "The MTA Song". It is known by the locals as just The T because of the logo it adopted back in the 1960s.

The four-line subway system consists of the Red, Orange, Green, and Blue Lines.
