Mind Your MBTA Manners

A new feature, targeted at helping those poor souls who may not realize how their behavior affects others on the T. Got a mannerly tip? Email us at tips at bostonist dot com.

There are some things best done in privacy, not on the T:

1. Wearing sweatpants ripped in inappropriate places.
2. Slurping the crumbs from your finger after eating a Dunkin Donuts muffin. (We've all had them. They're not that good.)

Please, T riders, spare us your worn-out wardrobe, and especially your saliva. Nobody wants to touch a germ-ridden T pole in general, but particularly not after you've stickied it up with your spit.
