How Magoun Square to Longwood Medical Area was measured
The Magoun Square to Longwood Medical Area estimate uses 3,495 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.
