Transit Police report an officer responding to some tumult at the Jackson Square T stop around 5 p.m. yesterday discovered "a 56 year old male had his pet rat sitting on his shoulder" on a bus berthed there.
Other riders felt unsafe and exited. The officer explained the policy re:animals on T. The male/rat had to be escorted off.
Sounds like a job for Penelope the snake, except the T didn't like her, either.

"Small animals like cats and rabbits should be kept in pet carriers."
Sounds like a suggestion.
Yeah, most big transit

Yeah, most big transit systems have formal legal regulations. That isn't one. Does the T have any, besides the state laws about things like smoking and fare evasion?
Well

Well considering how loose the enforcement with anything on the T is.. Every rule is pretty much a suggestion. Not a requirement.
Including pay fares /snark
JFC that's rude

If the rat was just chilling on his shoulder, there's no reason to call the cops on the guy.
Some people are triggered by rodents

The problem with public transit is the public.
