Commuting to Boston?

[kharma]

I'm about as far out as I found to be bearable in Billerica. The commute to Cambridge generally takes me an hour, but I avoid both 93 & 128 to preserve my sanity.

I am very tired of staring at the scenery on 1A south. It's not very interesting south of me.

I love living out west of the city: great access to rivers, hiking trails and the ski areas in winter. Drawback is the commute on the Masspike or Rt 2 - it's then that I wish I lived in the city

If the railyard gets expanded in Worcester as planned, then there will be better commuting times along that line. CSX wants to make lots of improvements that are going to open up more slots for commuter trains.
