Estimating transit travel time in Boston

Are you traveling to the Boston area and are wondering how long it takes to get from one neighborhood to another? Like pretty pictures? Well, there is a website that can give you both. Dan Tillberg has created a visual representation of travel times by bus and train on the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority). Even though the site falsely assumes that everything always runs on time, the site gives you a good idea of what a trip is going to be like. In fact, you can often figure out if you have to transfer from the location of the drops.

Also, the site is fun to play with even if you are not going to Boston.

I originally got this link from Transit Boston.
