Backpacks a No-No on the T during DNC
The MBTA has announced strict policies for packages and bags on MBTA transportation during the Democratic National Convention. Riders on the Orange Line and T buses that travel on Interstate 93 and pass by the FleetCenter, for example, will be banned from carrying anything larger than a pocketbook or briefcase, and all permitted bags will be searched on those trains and buses. On all other lines, pocketbooks, briefcases, backpacks, and packages will be subject to random search. Those who refuse to be searched will not be allowed on. Large bags, suitcases, and gift totes will be inspected in every case.
