Your late MBTA train might actually spark a smile or laugh for once.
The T has added “googly” eyes to five vehicles after a group of riders rallied for train googly eyes earlier this year.
The googly eyes have been attached to the front of five Green Line and Commuter Rail trains, according to the MBTA.
“After receiving public suggestions, our team found a safe way to install these ‘googly’ eyes on a limited number of vehicles… as part of our ongoing efforts to bring moments of joy to our riders’ daily commutes,” an MBTA spokesperson said in a statement.
The group of riders in the spring marched from Park Street station to the MBTA offices, pushing for some personality on the T.
March organizer Arielle Lok was thrilled that the T added googly eyes to some trains.
“Today, the @MBTA and us saw eye to eye,” Lok posted.
“Bring some joy into our lives, give the T-trains googly eyes,” Lok wrote. “Our vision for the T is to give the T vision. We did it!”
The MBTA is “constantly seeking creative ways to improve riders’ experiences,” the T spokesperson said. That includes in-station musical performances, children’s voiceover announcements, and its “Share the Love” campaigns.
The T spokesperson added, “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.”
