My answer is yes, the T , at least on the Ashmont Line from Dorchester to various downtown and Cambridge locations, it is much better. They eliminated the Ashmont slow zones although a couple of small new slow zones appeared recently.

They're working on the Braintree line, where several horrendous slow zones have existed for a while.

Yes, the old trains still feel and sound like they are going to fall apart, but at least we have 2 trains with new cars. And the elevators still smell like urine, or a combination of cleaning fluid and urine. Some escalators are on again off again.

But the basic task of moving riders from point A to point B without slow zones has improved a lot.

Let's keep it going

If all of these gains have to be lost due to budget cuts, it will be worse than not having made the improvements at all. Let's keep the T funded!

what is this?

Adam, have we turned into the Weekly World News with outlandish headlines?

Or did I get sucked into another dimension where the T runs great, yet I am still looking like a sack of potatoes?

Jokes aside.. The T has gotten better, compared to the previous two years. It still has issues, but nice not to go 5mph between Sullivan and Community College.
