Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority

'' This wiki page described the MBTA owned by Ill91, not zack984's MBTA. '' The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is an upcoming Roblox transit group, based out of Boston, MA. This group, to now be known as 'Ill91's MBTA', to prevent possible confusion with zack984's MBTA, is still in heavy development, and is planning to release with the full Blue Line subway and around 8 bus routes.

History
MBTA Roblox was officially founded by CallMeMedy on December 3rd of 2020. The group had seen prior development as early as October, when Ill91, owner of WRTA, joined Medy in an upcoming Silver Line project. However, sometime before November, Medy and Ill91 split in both WRTA and the newer MBTA with no public explanation. They would not be reunited until April 13, when Ill91 left the chance to start a Steam bus simulator.

In February, many vehicles made by AquaticBeastsAreCool, from Hawker Siddley subways to New Flyer AN440LF's were showcased. However, AquaticBeastsAreCool is no longer a developer and it is probable to assume that these vehicles would not be in the game as they were incompleted before Aquatic was demoted. It is important to note that the never Blue Line trains made by current vehicle manager ST1XX13 are still being showcased, and were actually recently optimized. Furthermore, Sir_MMK's GUIs are still rumored to be in-game, as he is still a developer.

Many current and former WRTA and MBTA staff joined to help this group, and became high ranking individuals.

Following Ill91's introduction to MBTA, and him becoming a co-owner and being a co-founder altogether, development was even more active. In one day a website was published (then to be completely redesigned one month later), and in one week a YouTube channel was created and Wonderland saw even more of its first development leaks. The Blue Line could be seen to look completed by vehicle developers ST1XX13 & michealthemankid. Additionally, the SL3 was showcased for the first time.

On May 14th, the official Wonderland Reveal Video was showcased to YouTube, and as of June 11th, it has seen over 650 views.

On May 20th, it was announced that nextTransport would become a partner to MBTA, and would be providing them with New Flyer vehicles, specifically the C40LF being showcased.

On June 7th, a second QnA finalized the bus route list for the Blue Line Division. Buses included are the 116, 117, 120, 441, 442, 441/442, 450W. Massport Shuttle 66 and MBTA bus routes 110, 112, 114, and 426 are rumored. All buses will depart from the West Lynn Garage and take either Massachusetts State Route 107 or the Lynnway to Wonderland Station.

On June 8th, Ill91 announced that a Developer Stream would be occurring June 11th, the first in MBTA's history.

On June 22nd, 2021, it was announced that Ill91 would become the new owner of MBTA. This ended Medy's 6-month tenure as owner, however he remains as Deputy General Manager.

Current Information
The MBTA is currently still under development as of June 2021. Development updates are regularly being posted, and an opening has been announced for mid-to-late 2022.
