New T Ads Target Sex Harassment On Trains, Buses

BOSTON (WBZ) ― MBTA riders, especially women, have long complained of a not-so-subtle form of sexual harassment on crowded buses and subways.

Now T officials are trying to clamp down on the unwanted physical contact with a new ad campaign officially unveiled on Monday.

One ad shows a young woman standing on a bus or train squeezed between two larger, anonymous bodies opposite the words "Rub against me and I'll expose you."

Another ad features an image of a security camera and the words "Flash someone and you'll be exposed," while a third shows a woman riding the MBTA alone with the message "I'm not the one who should be ashamed."
