Fred G Posted August 19, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2008 Yep, 2005, when we needed a permit to take photos on the system. What baloney! These were shot with a Sony DSC V1 point and shoot. Commuter F40's at North Station Green Line Trolleys at Beacon Street Government Center North Station Sometimes they didn't see the permit I was wearing on my vest Seeing as I live halfway between NYC and Boston, I need to travel east and capture some of this cool system again.

Fred G Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted August 19, 2008 Nice pics!! My favorite is the first one. Btw do you still need an photo permit to take pics of MBTA? Thank you. No, you do not need a permit after 2007. You'll need to carry some ID because you may be asked to produce it. Other than that, click or video away http://www.nycsubway.org/faq/photopermits.html is a handy page to bookmark as it shows all major transit systems and their policies with contact numbers. Dave updates it fairly regularly. There used to be a downloadable MBTA Photo Policy PDF at http://transitpolice.us/Photo%20Policy/Photo%20Policy%201.pdf but the site is under construction. I included the link here for someday when they're finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
