I was once impatiently waiting for the T with Alan at Park Street.  
You can never tell when the next train is coming: it could be 4  
minutes later as it could be 15.

So Alan gave me this trick: at the end of the platform, in the  
direction opposed to MIT, there's a light. When the light is turned  
off, that means that the train left Downtown Crossing and is on its way.
