The Boston subway is oldest underground metro system in the Americas with 3 lines over 64 km (40 mi) of track. All three lines were built within 10 years of the system's inauguration in 1903 making a lot of the infrastructure outdated. Since the system receives somewhat poor maintenance there are constantly closures and slow zones for track work. Frequency on the system is not great with a train arriving every 8-12 minutes on average. Every line has different rolling stock specifications meaning there are unique trains in the livery of the line they run on. The red line has the widest variety of rolling stock and the blue line is one of 2 metro lines in the US to use pantograph power. Fares are integrated with the rest of the MBTA's system and can be paid with the Charlie card. One ride costs $2.40 regardless of mode of payment. While the system certainly needs more love on some parts, I found this system a good way to get from downtown to other areas around Boston however its not so great when going suburb to suburb.
