I ran the numbers and it was cheaper way back to live in the city than to commute, the cost of the car, and the lost time in the car at your hourly rate.

If you sold the car, moved to the city, or onto the rail line, a station is opening up in New Bedford and providence is a lot cheaper than boston and you can take the mbta pretty cheap or Amtrak and get a seat. Sometimes work will pay for the pass.
