More people rode the T in September than during any other month in the MBTA's 47-year history: "1.35 million trips on an average weekday, according to figures released yesterday. That eclipsed a previous high of 1.34 million in September 2008, before the economic downturn ... A predecessor, the Boston Elevated, may have carried more in 1946, when returning soldiers and lingering wartime tire and gas rationing yielded banner transit ridership." [Globe]
