It was July 7 and that was the day before people came back from work on Monday, so I figured out that I have to check out the Blue Line to see how reliable it is.
I took the Blue Line from Wood Island in East Boston to Wonderland. The ride was relative quick from there with a couple of slow zones here and there, but not much of a major effect there.
The Blue line was made free as part of the shutdown as a result of the Summer Tunnel Closure, along with reduced fares on the North Shore Commuter Rail Lines and free fares on the Bus Routes routed in East Boston, Chelsea and Winthrop along with several ferry lines coming up from the North Shore into Downtown Boston.
After a quick ride to Wonderland, I decided to stay and look at the beautiful beach view and decided to take a personal break from people following the 4th of July weekend for drinking 5-day in a row and coming back to work with a lax mindset. I looked at the sun, the sandy beach for a little bit wishing how much I wanted to be at the beach that day today rather than going to work.

After I stayed at the beach for a little bit, it was back onto the Blue Line. When I walked into the Wonderland T Station, the blue line train already left, but another one came quickly. Even though there were some slow zones on the way in, but that wasn't much of a big deal, especially on a Friday and was still able to get into Boston in around 20 mins.
I would say in a nutshell that day, out of all the subway lines I have taken, the Blue Line seems to be quite frankly, the most reliable. I'll keep ya posted on when I will take the Blue Line when everyone gets back from their 4th of July Holiday.
