1) How do you commute to work? car 2) How far? 5 miles 3) How long does it take in each direction? morning: 20 minutes including my coffee stop evening: 20 to 30 minutes depending on what time I live 4) If you don't use public transportation, IS there a public transportation alternative? How long would THAT take? a) yes and no. Yes because I could take the bus that takes me from Bedford all the way to Cambridge and from there take another bus all the way back to Burlington, rediculous since burlington is just the next town over. This would probably be close 2 hours each way (to/from work), so no, there is no alternative public transportation. For the most part, plublic transportation (from what I've experienced of the times I did need to use it) in the greater Boston area is pretty much a star configuration, you can take a bus/train from particular points outside of boston into boston and back, but there is very little public transportation between 2 points that are both outside of town. -Mario -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
