I’ve been commuting to school in PVD for a while and personally I prefer taking the train over driving at any point in the day. It’s longer, but I’m able to nap/zone out/get some work done.

In terms of cost it would definitely be more economical if you took the commuter rail from Hyde Park (Zone 1) on southwards because a single round trip from Zone 1 to Zone 8 (PVD) costs the same as a one way ticket from Zone 1A (Forest Hills, Ruggles, Back Bay, South Station) to PVD.

I haven’t had too many bad experiences with CR reliability; my main issues usually stem from delays on the OL, but having to wait another hour for the next train isn’t fun.
