Ever since coming to campus in Fall 2017, I have become obsessed with timing my commute and seeing how long it takes to go to Brookline Village to UMass Boston. This data may have a limited scope of importance, because my own commute has little effect on others’ lives. However, it does provide a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings, such as they are, of the MBTA.
This is a more in-depth followup to a previous post on my statistics blog which can be found here. Previous analyses have shown that commuting at rush hour took about five minutes longer than not commuting at rush hour.
