Reply to comment by Jackamalio626 in MBTA to close part of Orange Line to work on slow zones it said were eliminated, but weren’t, during full shutdown by ik1nky

Cabs aside, to get almost anywhere within the city it's typically faster to bike and sometimes only marginally slower to walk

This was my philosophy when I lived in Boston. Anything 75 minutes or less is walking distance, and I’m guaranteed to make it to my destination exactly when I want to. A related rule of thumb: I get off at the earliest possible stop, even if it means an extra 15-20 minutes walking. Have lost count of the number of times when waiting in a stuck train between govt center and haymarket fucked me and I should’ve just walked

This is me. I used to connect from the RL to the OL as part of my commute, but after getting fucked over by both lines repeatedly, and often on the same day, now I just walk from Broadway to Back Bay when the weather permits.
