How Hynes Convention Center to Boston University East was measured
The Hynes Convention Center to Boston University East estimate uses 3,368 completed direct-trip stop-timestamp pairs matched to the schedule active for each observed train.

We do not infer why a trip ran slowly. Construction, incidents, crowding and weather require separate evidence.
