A train died on the Red Line; riders like the dog in This Is Fine

But its carcass has been removed from the tracks and now the T reports things are back to, well, not normal per se, given what the new normal on the Red Line is, but moving at least.

I don't trust these stats.

Too bad they don't list it for peak/offpeak times.

The โ's Definition Of Reliability
First of all, I can't imagine how they'd even measure such a statistic. To do so, would seem to require a continuous counting of the number of people waiting at each platform. The โ has an extensive system of security cameras, but I'd be surprised if they're capable of doing that.
Their "reliability" number takes nothing else into consideration, including whether or not a train arrives at its destination in a timely manner. As every โ rider knows, merely boarding a vehicle is no assurance of a reliable commute.
