MBTA Seeks Person Who Left A Bus Load of Cash on the 73 Trolley

Are you missing a large amount of cash? Were you riding the Route 73 trolley heading towards Belmont Monday afternoon after work when it happened?

If you are the one missing the money or you know who is, the MBTA Police is looking to reunite the money with its rightful owner. 

The money – described as "a large sum of cash" – was in an envelope when it was discovered by a female passenger on a seat on the Route 73 trackless trolley around 4:45 p.m. as the electric bus was traveling outbound to Belmont's Waverley Square from Harvard Square in Cambridge, according to Joe Pesaturo, director of communications at the MBTA.

As the trolley was entering Cushing Square, the passenger handed the envelope operator Kevin White, who has been with the T for a little more than two years. White immediately notified the control center and turned the cash over to his supervisor.  

The cash is now in the hands of the Transit Police with White really hoping to find the person to whom the money belongs.

The MBTA needs the rightful owner to tell the Transit Police how much cash he or she left behin and describe the envelope as well, said Pesaturo. 

If the money is yours, please contact Transit Police Sgt. Michael Rutledge at 617-222-1160.
