>just north of Boston (Everett) for vacation and every day I took the bus into the main Boston area FWIW - I live in Everett and commute to downtown Boston (Seaport), so I feel like I should weigh in on this. Bus (either the whole way, or to Wellington subway station transfer) is slow. Bike to Wellington, then subway is still pretty bad because of which where the subway runs if you don't transfer. Subway transfer is slow. Uber is very expensive during rushhour. By far the fastest, cheapest and most convenient way is for me to motorcycle from my door to the Seaport office where I squeeze between 2 cars to park (for free... haven't been ticketed yet). So that's what I generally do if it's not winter. And this is in a city that actually does have decent public transit compared to most of America. I don't know if motorcycling is the future or not. It's admittedly more dangerous than driving and requires more coordination. There are safety advancement (automated emergency braking on some brand new KTM's... although that won't help if you overshoot a turn). There are now auto-clutches or non-geared electric motorcycles that are easier for beginners. It would basically take no changes to infrastructure and I've seen it work in Ho Chi Minh (although, again, crashes do occur and are worse when they do).
