According to a study conducted by Craigslist, red is the color of love in Boston– at least on the T. Researchers rated the MBTA’s lines and stations as far as romance goes based on an 11-week study of over 200 ads posted in the “Missed Connections’’ section of Craigslist Boston. Each station and train line received a “TRIST [short for “Train Romance Index Score Total] Score,’’ calculated by taking the total number of Missed Connection mentions for a particular station and the average daily ridership for that station. These stations are where you probably missed your soul mate:

1. Park Street Mentions in Missed Connections: 40 TRIST Score: 20.67 Park Street is the most romantic station probably because it’s where the Green and Red lines intersect, running through the heart of Boston. Craigslist also rated Park as one of the most literary stations, with the most mentions of books or literary figures in the missed connections. To The Girl I could not let on the red line – m4w – 30 (Park St)
