MBTA adds ‘googly eyes’ to trains

BOSTON, Mass. (WLNE) — MBTA riders may now see a pair of eyes watching them on their day-to-day commute.

“Googly eyes” have been seen on MBTA trains and commuter rails throughout Boston.

A spokesperson for MBTA told ABC 6 that after receiving public suggestions, their team found a safe way to install these ‘googly’ eyes on a limited number of vehicles.

Five pairs will be on the Green Line and commuter rail, as part of the “ongoing efforts to bring moments of joy to our riders’ daily commutes.”

The MBTA said they’re constantly seeking creative ways to improve riders’ experiences, from in-station musical performances and children’s voice-over announcements to our ‘Share the Love’ campaigns.

“We hope these initiatives, combined with our transit ambassadors’ dedication and our staff’s hard work on infrastructure upgrades, will continue to be a source of community connection and brighten someone’s day,” said the statement.
