Transit Club on the Move: Student Transit Advocates Make Riding the T a Varsity Sport
This week, a guest column from Ilias Benmokrane ’24, founder and leader of the BUA Transit Club, appeared on the Mass Streetsblog. The column recaps the club’s signature Transit Races, shares why it’s important for students to be educated on the public transit resources available to them, and suggests improvement for the MBTA (there are many!).
The goals of the BUA Transit Club include “instructing new students on how to use the Transit app to navigate through the city; discussing the history of transportation; and drafting proposals regarding safer and more convenient transportation to local agencies.” The group even puts out a weekly newsletter with helpful information on transit closures and alternate routes!
Congratulations to Ilias and the Transit Club on the publication of their first column. Read the full article here.
