it's bad enough without exaggeration like this. They removed 4 B line stops over a decade ago. The closest two stations now are about 1/5 of a mile apart. Yes, still too close, but there are lots of elderly who take that T line.

There are folks who do regular runs vs. the T and beat it.

And it's 10 miles from Riverside to Fenway Park, not 5, for that 45 minute ride (which is closer to 35 minutes, actually).

The T sucks. There's no need to exaggerate how badly it sucks.
