Each day 40,000 Massachusetts students use public transportation to get to school which is why MBTA stations can be a haven for kids who decide not to go to class. In this report, Greater Boston host Emily Rooney tags along with members of Operation StopWatch, a collaborative effort of the MBTA, the Boston Police Department, the Boston Public Schools, and other agencies, that reaches out to teens to understand why they are not in school.
