I live in the outermost zone of the commuter rail, and a monthly pass is about $400, or $4,800 per year.
Add to that the fact that you are going to be packed in like cattle, won't have a seat to sit on unless you board at the very first station, and can count on a 30-60 minute delay at least once a week ... the MTBA is probably the single biggest stressor in the Boston area.

- oftenwrong 7y agoIf you lived in the urban core, you could save $3786 per year by just getting a local pass. You would avoid a lot of that stress and lost time from your commute. You would not need a car. Of course, your housing costs would be higher, or your housing would be worse, or both. Worth it?
- thomascgalvin 7y ago> your housing costs would be higher My housing costs would be roughly twice as high (from $2,500 to more like $5,000 per month). Living closer just isn't an option.
