How Warren Street to Boston University Central was measured
The Warren Street to Boston University Central estimate uses 3,417 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.
