- dublinben 3y agoThat's quite an understatement. It's currently taking 68 minutes longer than it shouuld to get from Braintree to the other end.[0] https://dashboard.transitmatters.org/system/slowzones/?chartView=xrange&selectedLines=Red&startDate=2022-09-21&endDate=2023-09-21 https://dashboard.transitmatters.org/system/slowzones/?chart...
