Could split the difference and to OL + Blue Bike.

Transit only is OL to Sullivan + 91 or CT2 depending on how close one is to Vassar Street or Prospect Street in the Ken-Cen area.

Interesting idea! It looks like there are bike lanes the whole way (or bikes can take the lane). That prevents me from having to ride the entire distance. I also don't need to worry about ownership and I could easily take the bus if the weather is lousy. I wonder about vehicle availability, but a quick glance says there are multiple stations within a few blocks of both start and end points.

I wonder how that would compare to an electric kick scooter. The benefit of the scooter is that I can use it to get to/from Oak Grove and less chance of getting sweaty.

I am a bus or Blue biker so i don't know much about scooters. i do see some folks taking a scooter on Washington St in Somerville. Not sure how far they are going.

Personal assessment: I would be concerned about pavement conditions, there's a lot of construction going on along Washington Street. Not sure how comfortable i would be on a scooter.

On Blue Bike, Washington Street, to me, is a moderately comfortable street. Not totally comfortable but generally okay with very little door zone biking.
