MBTA commuters might bump into at least one mayoral candidate in their travels this week.

Josh Kraft— who announced his plan to run for Mayor of Boston on Tuesday morning in Grove Hall— is starting his mornings this week by greeting T customers at stations in the city.

Kraft was at Forest Hills MBTA station on Thursday morning during the 8 o’clock hour.

After speaking with MBTA transit police officers and grabbing a coffee and snack from Mike’s Donuts, the newly-minted candidate chatted with potential voters on their way to and from the Orange Line train platforms.

Ray Morgan, who runs the Morgan Variety shop just inside the station, was excited to meet the Kraft.

“We talked about bringing workers back into the city because that's what's affecting the businesses here,” said Morgan.

“We just got to get people back in the city and get the ridership up on the MBTA. That would be very important for the whole city.”

Morgan (shown in photo above with Kraft) hasn’t decided who he’ll support yet, but the Mattapan resident wants to know more about Kraft’s positions.

“I look forward to hearing what else he has to say. The city has some problems,” Morgan told The Reporter. Specifically, he is looking for a candidate who can help with the “homelessness issue” in and around the station. He also wants more done to address safety for pedestrians and traffic enforcement.

“We need some more speed bumps,” Morgan said. “There is a lot of speeding on the side streets.”

Not everyone was ready to do a stop-and-chat in the middle of their morning rush. But as Kraft hung around the station entrance, he wished just about everyone he saw a "good morning." He said he saw some familiar faces from his Boys and Girls Club days.

One commuter spoke with Kraft about the needs of the Haitian community, another talked about housing.

The candidate, who also stopped by Nubian Station in Roxbury this week, is expected to visit more stations in the weeks to come., including Dorchester's Ashmont Station, according to his campaign.
