I actually commute on the T every day. As _august pointed out, inbound/outbound switches at Park St, so it's not the best way to identify alerts going a single direction throughout the line.

We are definitely trying to make the line selection easier to use, so if you have ideas it would be great if you could make a Github issue!

Saying "To Alewife" or "To Ashmont" is as much information as anyone really needs (if you're looking at the redline for instance)

No, there is only the destination of the train, since an Alewife bound train is "inbound" or "outbound" depending on which station you're at.

If you want to talk about the Red Line delays going toward Alewife, then inbound or outbound is uselessly ambiguous.

Inbound/Outbound changes at Park St, correct? So South/North/East/West seems to be more helpful here.

Of course, they could ask you to input a station first, then display the connecting lines as inbound/outbound.

The four stations where the directions change are the square made up of Park Street, State Street, DTX, and Government Center (or Haymarket since Gov Center is down? Not sure, haven't been to Haymarket in at least two years).

Directionality (for new folks) or terminus (for more seasoned riders) are infinitely better than Inbound/Outbound.
