Oh, rats: Man and his pet rodent ordered off bus in Jackson Square

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
"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
Like the time my brother & his GF visited our house. She was very uncomfortable about the hamster.
The problem with public
The problem with public transit is the public.
