"The T is turning the corner on some major improvements β€” subway slow zones expected to be eradicated by the end of the year, speeds on the Blue and Orange Lines faster than before federal intervention, the largest workforce in years β€” and even advocates who previously hadn't hesitated to criticize the T are now singing its praises."

Transportation Schedule for the Independence Day Holiday on Thursday, July 4

A little surprised that this article doesn’t mention #transitmatters and their great work on crunching the #mbta’s own data and putting it out there to show everyone how bad the system has gotten after 8 years of being run at the number the voices in Charlie Baker’s head demand. But it’s another strong piece from #elizabethkoh and #taylordolven. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/28/metro/speed-restrictions-plague-mbta-quietly-slowing-down-commutes-new-data-show/
Speed restrictions plague MBTA, quietly slowing down commutes, new data show

It’s not your imagination. MBTA trains hit the brakes far more often than the T might have you believe.

I find the dismantling of rail travel in California to be extra specially frustrating. My in-laws are all over California and when we travel back for holidays, it's a nightmare getting everywhere by car. #transitmatters #Transit
