Our algorithm only flags a slow zone when its travel time is 10% higher than the median for 4 days in a row. Some of these slow zone orders are only for a few hundred feet of track which only accounts for a few second delay in overall travel time between two train stops.

TLDR -> MBTA is showing more granular slow zones, which is important. But not all have a big impact on travel time, i.e. disruptions that riders actually feel.
