We moved to Natick, MA eight days ago (gallery) and are adjusting to the new surroundings and new routines. New commute is the biggest change. Walk to the Natick commuter rail (5 minutes). Ride commuter rail to South Station (30 minutes). Take Red Line to Harvard Square (20 minutes). Walk to office (7 minutes). Factor in all the inefficiencies and it usually takes around 1 hour 10 minutes. It is longer than I expected and I need to see how much more expensive it would be to drive. The up side is that I can theoretically get stuff done on the train. However, they really need to add another couple cars to the commuter rail. It is always packed. If you want to make public transportation appealing, don’t make everyone be packed in like sardines. Add extra cars so everyone gets their own seat, add free wireless Internet and a cafe car.
