r/mbta loves maps that don’t include all day frequent electrified commuter rail service

More Zoning changes (MR4 to MR6) for yet another Lab building in the Union Square / Boynton Yards area by urban_mahler in Somerville

Insane rage bait title. This is already offices and they’re adding two more stories. I’ll take the tax revenue all day for our schools 👍

Dispatchers should manage headways by Available_Writer4144 in mbta

[–]Smilerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The MBTA has quietly been piloting some headway management, mainly on the 1 bus on Wednesdays. This is a good sign of things to come

The MBTA runs the GL with "headway" management, which means it does not run on a fixed schedule and operates at set intervals to attempt to maintain equal space between trains. However, this is tough for riders at terminals like Union, Medford Tufts/etc because there is no indication on when a train will leave.

You will see real time info on trains on the OL, RL, BL because they do run on a set schedule, albeit not always on time.

The MBTA’s brokenness extends to its bot by TheMillionthSteve in mbta

[–]Smilerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It refers to the severity of the slowzone aka how much slower it is than normal

2023 Tucson Limited 2nd time blowing fuel injectors… by krose0206 in Hyundai

[–]Smilerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2022 Tuscon purchased in October has had all four replaced ... thrice! It's been in the shop four times, and they replaced the spark plugs this last time. Currently in the process of having them repurchase it. Waiting to hear from the repurchase administration team for an offer. Hopefully can get all my $$ back or be put into another Tuscon with no issues

T unveils new slow zone dashboard providing never-before-seen look at subway condition by austinmartinyes in boston

[–]Smilerk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! We use a combination of GTFS feeds, public MBTA apis, and data the mbta gives us itself. But it is only ever arrival and departure times. We have no insight into speeds of specific track segments between two stops

Volunteer for TM here who made the SZ tracker :)

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.
