Join local author Steven Beaucher for a visually rich presentation featuring rare photographs, maps, and ephemera covering nearly 400 years of public transit history in Boston. Boston in Transit is a comprehensive history of public transportation infrastructure and the modes of transit that have moved Boston for nearly four centuries. This book tells the entire story from the simple ferry serving an English settlement perched on the edge of a new world, through the arrival of steam trains and fleets of electric streetcars and buses, to the creation and evolution of the present-day MBTA.
