It’s what I miss most about Covid. I was able to get from Beacon Hill to Magoun Sq. via Storrow in under ten minutes during rush hour. God I miss that.

My parents were moving from the south shore up to SW NH in late 2019/early 2020 and it’s usually a ~2hr drive on average. My mom was able to get it down to 1.5hrs a couple times
