It is not that bad. It's all relative. People here are used to a walkable city and the T. Recently it's been slowed heavily because they're inspecting tracks and fixing stuff so let's hope that it's solved sooner rather than later. But the public transit in this city is still one of the best in any North American city.. not a high bar by any means but it's still very good. I came here from Toronto and the transit here is a godsend compared to there, really wanted to bring my car but there is no need at all in Boston. Having a car is more of a headache than not having one here

So are the delays I’ve been seeing so people talk about not typical and this should generally resolve after inspections etc? I was worried that I was seeing such consistent comments about delays, and don’t wanna select a place to live where I basically have to allow 2 hours to commute in case of a delay for an hour ride on the T

small sample size, but it's by far the worst of all the public transit systems i've used. (boston, los angeles, nyc/nj, dc/nova, miami as far as usa goes, then internationally just japan)
