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?

i have two dogs [pugs] and have taken them on the T, bus, and commuter rail without any issue.

it's obviously best if you can get one of the single seats, it gives you more room and your dog a little space away from strangers. or, sit on the back stairs in the rear of the car.

do you live in the city and has your dog been on a train before? if the answer is no, it can be a little scary or unsettling for the dog. if your dog can be picked up, i'd advise at least carrying him/her onto the train initially. and most passengers either don't care or are entertained by dogs on the T.
