The MBTA’s late-night service was received very well on opening night, with people taking to Twitter, probably slightly intoxicated, to voice their approval. Of course, though, alcohol, late-night bar hoping, general excitement and the start of the weekend, always have the potential to spark trouble. However, MBTA Transit Police report that no one – not one single person – was arrested on first night of late-night T service.
We are getting media inquires tpdnews regarding arrests made during the extended service hours. The answer is 0!

Given that one of the main reasons late-night service was reinstated was to get people back and forth, from point A to point B, safely, zero arrests on the first night of a highly, highly anticipated event is a pretty damn good sign. Naturally, though, people wanted to hear a little bit more – who can blame them? Obviously, everyone wants this thing to stick around for a long time.
@MBTATransitPD Do you have data how many people used it?
