("The T does not expressly prohibit snakes. Guide dogs and other service
animals are allowed at all hours, while nonservice pets are allowed only
during off-peak hours. Dogs should be well behaved and properly leashed,
while small domestic animals must be carried in lap-size containers and kept
out of the way of exits, according to T policy.")
Note: T is short for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA).
