The MBTA is putting the brakes on the use of hoverboards. 

T officials confirmed Thursday hoverboards will be banned from trains, buses and in stations. 

This comes after several instances of the popular devices catching fire and even exploding. 

Transit systems in New York, L.A. and Chicago have also banned hoverboards.
