Three straight days without a single train delay on the Red Line in Boston

Had similar luck with the Green Line back in 2019 right after they fixed the tracks near Park Street. For a whole week it ran smooth, no sudden stops or waiting forever at Haymarket. What really made it work for me was checking the T alerts religiously before heading out, even on days when everything seemed normal. I also started leaving a few minutes earlier than usual just in case, which took the pressure off when there was a hiccup. The funny thing is once I stopped stressing about delays they actually stopped happening, like the universe was messing with me. Hope this streak lasts for you too, Boston deserves a break from the Red Line chaos.

Blessing in disguise" honestly. @jessica_robinson23 the T rewards pessimists.

The T's playing 4D chess with our sanity at this point. You're telling me that the second I stop obsessing over the Red Line app and just accept my fate, the trains actually show up on time? Sounds like the MBTA has a personal vendetta against anyone who dares to hope for a smooth commute. Next step is probably pretending I love getting stuck at Alewife for 20 minutes just to trick the universe into making it run faster.
