Just got off the phone with MBTA. Former Policy was that ONLY Amtrak passengers could sit late night for next train In South Station(Open 24 hours) if they had a Amtral Ticket. MBTA Commuter Rail Tickets did not count. Now If you are possension of a zone-8 ticket and there is no other way home you can sit till 5:00am or next train whatever comes later.

That's convenient when there's no empty boxcars nearby to sleep in.

Yeah, and if you accidentally tip your cart--er luggage--your empty soda cans go flying all over the place, and then you have to bend over and pick them up. Wouldn't want to be a nuisance to society and leave all dem cans lyin 'round.
