Amtrak tickets in advance are often very cheap. You can regularly go two ways for the price of one Commuter Rail ticket. The tickets also "float" and can be moved to a later date in the app if your schedule changes. 36m from Providence Station to Back Bay (40m to South Station) can't be beat compared to other trains and driving.

I will add though, that I despise commuting and hated every minute of being more than a 10-15m bike ride away from work like I have now in Providence. But Providence is a superior place to live than Greater Boston.

Thank you. That sounds like an honest opinion all around
