If they themselves charted things like this for the public[…] Disagree! The MBTA provided the data, which is as transparent as it gets. Getting analysis from a 3rd party provides a level of impartiality that this data needs.

It took them years to decide to release this data in a usable format, which surely they had internally for the longest time. I agree that 3rd party work is essential to check them, but it seems they aren't aware themselves of these things... or at least not to the public. The GM just spins happy stories.
