Amtrak Train 66 leaves Providence 6:56 and arrives in Boston usually early, 7:40 am. I took that for 4 years, 5-6 days a week. Lots of commuters on that train. My boss liked I was there early and I left at 5 to grab the train home. It was worth it for me over the commuter rail.

I also live on the East Side. It took me about 1:20 door to door.

Leave house 6:40ish (because I hate rushing) Arrive about 6:45, get coffee at Cafe La France Wait a few minutes on platform. Train 6:56-7:45ish Grab coffee at South Station Walk to work 5 minutes (Fort Point) Desk by 8am

I no longer do this because I’m not 29 and childless, but it wasn’t bad while I did it. I now work downtown providence and still live on the east side. The 7 minute commute is so ridiculous.
