(Rosanne Foley via AP)BOSTON — A surprise passenger hitched a ride on a Boston commuter trolley, frightening some people at first, but warming their hearts when it willingly snuggled in a human passenger’s arms.
Commuters say a squirrel bounded onto a Red Line trolley Monday morning at an aboveground stop, prompting some passengers to hop onto their seats.
Passenger Rosanne Foley, the executive director of the Boston Landmarks Commission, posted a Twitter photo of the squirrel resting on another person’s arm. She tells boston.comsomeone even tried to feed the rodent a piece of granola bar.
The rodent rider was let off by passengers at another aboveground station.
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority spokeswoman Lisa Battiston commended the kindness of passengers but warned against interacting with wild animals on a train.

I live in Boston. I heard about this yesterday morning. My initial reaction was I hope that squirrel made it off the Red Line safely.
…and made it back to wherever it is familiar with,
Squirrels learning what it’s like to ride the rail. What progress. Be alert, and helpful.🐿Thank you one and all.
🙂 Modern urban squirrels. I like the little squirrel in your post!
Yes. I was just happy someone didn’t out and out kill him or her, and the article says the squirrel was let off at another above-ground station, hopefully the next one, where he or she will find their way home.
