This is just the new green line extension, which for a brand new multi-billion dollar line extension, is bad enough.
Take the Red Line? You might be seeing 56-88 minutes of delays (compared to years ago) compared to years prior, per data published by Transit Matters (https://dashboard.transitmatters.org/red/ https://dashboard.transitmatters.org/red/). Long distance trips (as in, much of the entire line) that took 40 minutes taking more than twice as long now.
In 2019 a train derailed taking out a signal house (https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2019/09/16/red-line-derailment-report/ https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2019/09/16/red-line-dera...). Per the TransitMatters chart, immediately after the derailment the average delays were about a half hour, but it’s since grown to twice to triple that!
The result is Red Line service is now under 60% of pre-pandemic service levels, with only about 45-50% of its previous ridership. (https://recovery.transitmatters.org/ https://recovery.transitmatters.org/)
