The T's Not-So-Cinderella Schedule:
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
While the MBTA doesn't magically transform at midnight, some subway lines do turn into metaphorical mice after 1 AM. Most trains chug along between 5 AM and 1 AM, but there are a few night owls that stay out a tad later, like the Red Line hitting the hay at 1:30 AM.
Busses: Your Knights in Not-So-Shining Armor:
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Fear not late-night warriors!** While the subways may become slumbering beasts, some buses heroically roam the streets as early as 3:30 AM. However, these are warriors with minds of their own, so double-check the schedule before embarking on your late-night quest.
Pro Tip: Download the MBTA app, it's your fairy godmother for all things schedule-related.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.

Navigating the Weekend Wasteland:
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Be warned, weekends bring slightly different timings. Expect the party to end a bit earlier, with some routes wrapping up service around 12:30 AM on weekends.
Important Side Note: This is just a general guideline. There are always exceptions, track work, and the occasional grumpy gremlin (not affiliated with the MBTA... we think). So, always check the MBTA website or app for the most up-to-date information.
