A passenger steps onto an MBTA subway train at an underground station in Boston. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, formed in 1964, operates one of the oldest rapid transit systems in the United States, with roots tracing back to the Boston Elevated Railway and the opening of the Tremont Street Subway in 1897. The high-platform station design, yellow tactile warning strip, and sliding train doors reflect standards adopted to improve accessibility and passenger safety across the system as it expanded and modernized through the late 20th century.
