How Longwood Medical Area to East Somerville was measured
The Longwood Medical Area to East Somerville estimate uses 3,596 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.
