The commuter rail is great if your schedule lines up with it, but keep in mind a monthly pass (which includes unlimited commuter rail and subway/bus/ferry rides) is over $400. Per month. But you’re ahead of the game after round trip commuting for like 10-15 days depending on if you have to take a bus/subway after you get to your desired train station.

Great solution if you can make it work, but if you work weird hours get used to a lot of traffic all the time. Either way plan on about 2 hours each way, give or take depending on your situation.
