The MBTA reports 10-15 minute delays (whoa, no more "moderate" and "severe," but specific times? Yay) on the Red Line due to "a disabled train with a power problem at JFK/UMass."

I'm curious how accurate these times are, considering how widely "moderate" varied.
Does it even matter how

Fair point.

However, a time range is less vague than a term like "moderate".
I'd prefer a more vague term

I'd prefer a more vague term over an inaccurate guess, though!
If you say "moderate" I plan for the worst. If you say "5-10 minute delays" but it's actually 25 minutes more... that really sucks.
No pun intended

But time will tell as to how accurate those estimates are.

For the first two to three years after T alerts were introduced, the severity of delays was given in a time range. Glad to see they finally figured out it works better than the "minor, moderate, severe" nonsense.
