I'm so grateful for Transit Matters. It's hard for the T to gaslight us with "no issues" when there's clear data showing the increased journey time. The headways are also infuriating, the amount of times I get to DTX and the next Alewife trains are in 13 and 15 minutes at rush hour is infuriating.

MBTA upper management, MassDOT, and state executive leadership are the only ones that believe their own claims since they don't ride their own system 🙄

There have been many times when I just walk to Kendall instead of waiting for a red line. It doesn’t really save me time but at least I get some exercise

On the ashmont branch of the red line this also checks out. Whatever your wait times are north of the jfk split, you can double them south of the split. When you’re only going a couple miles it often takes the same amount of time to just walk.

Even though Savin Hill is my station I will walk the extra half mile or so to JFK/UMass because I'm much more likely to get a northbound train in less than 15 minutes.
