Even if the T sucks, it's not that far to walk. I'd just do car share when you need it, save a bunch of money. You can walk to whole foods too

That's close enough to walk. And orange, red, and green all run through West End. They cant all be broken~~~

From West End, you can both walk to work.

The T is uniquely bad lately due to Slow Zones (track inspection) that would conclude by May. Afterwords, it’ll be a hodgepodge. Blue will be great, Orange and Green will be okay, and Red will continue to suck until CCRC delivers more trains… and who knows when that’ll happen. All is faster than driving in rush hour.

It’s way faster to drive at peak rush hour than it is to take the red line lately. Sad.

You definitely don’t need a car with that commute!

MGH has discounts for Charlie Cards, ZipCar, and rental cars. Maybe Blue Bikes now too. Your workplace will most likely have discounts as well.
