BOSTON — If you take the T or city bus for your morning commute to work and bring along a cup of coffee or even a breakfast bar you might be in for a rude awakening.
The MBTA’s Twitter sent out a reminder on Monday, asking riders to help keep the T clean by avoiding eating or drinking while in vehicles and stations. This was news to several T riders, who have never heard of this rule before.
As a courtesy to your fellow riders & to help keep the T clean, please avoid eating or drinking while on vehicles & in stations. Keep your food & drinks in closed containers & dispose of any trash in the proper receptacles.

The rule against drinking and eating on the T has been in place since at least at least September 2022 and you can find it outlined on the MBTA’s website.
“Food and drink must remain in closed containers. Please be considerate and avoid eating or drinking on MBTA vehicles and in stations,” the website states.
