Dogs on "T" Help

[mogwaikisses.livejournal.com]

I would like to take my dog on MBTA tomorrow through Davis, as I am spending the holiday at a friend's house. I could drive, but there are parking issues, I don't even want to get into that.

Anyhow, I have looked at the MBTA site, and it says dogs are allowed on the "T" during non-peak hours.

What exactly is the "T" technically? Is that just the train?

I have to take a bus to get to Davis Square...does that mean she can come on the bus as well? Is the bus part of the "T"?

Why can't they be more specific? I tried googling it also, no luck. Does anyone know?

Also, it says your dog can't "bother" other people. She barks sometimes when she freaks out. Does this mean she will be banned if she barks?

Idk, I took my Abyssinian on the T whenever and it was never a problem.

I've only seen one issue with a dog, ever. It was a "pit bull" type dog, sweet as could be...but over the loudspeaker came a T-employee's voice telling the owner that if anything happened they'd be thrown off the train...

Well, Boston also has anti-pit bull legislation so if the train was going to pass through Boston (not just Somerville/Cambridge) then the owner would need to be in compliance. I don't agree with breed-specific legislation (esp against a breed that isn't a singular breed at all) but Boston does have it.
