This is very interesting, but wow, what a small system: only 3 lines? I'd like to see what a page like this would look like for Tokyo, where we have 121 lines and 882 stations in the greater metro area.

There's a fourth, the Green Line (which actually has 4 branches, B, C, D, and E, on the south/west side of downtown Boston), but it is not shown in the article under discussion. There is a link in the article to another page on the same site that shows the Green Line.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
ridership is about half of what it was pre-pandemic, so there are likely a lot of differences - the green line extension and some additional orange line stations have also opened since the whole system is a mess right now, but there's a new general manager that seems to be the best chance we've ever had at turning it around
Worth noting that the bicycle infrastructure in Cambridge, Somerville, and the adjoining parts of Boston has also skyrocketed in quality relative to its pre-pandemic state, it's extremely heartening to see. I don't take the T much anymore just because it's so easy to bike anywhere that I need to go. Shout out to the new path parallel to the green line extension, which makes it feasible to get from downtown to Somervi…

Boston is a very small, dense city, only about 50 square miles. A quick check of wikipedia shows Tokyo proper is nearly 15x the size.

I say this is someone who bikes, but who would rather have working mass transit first as it is far more useful and also equitable.
