I had color coded transit options to a map but can only upload one photo... That said, there are several options for modes of transit for my commute to work (more than I captured here, even). However, the times represented currently are not indicative of normal scenarios. During normal conditions (non-COVID-19), the rush hour traffic would change the commute by car from 30 minutes to almost 2 hours - a significant difference affecting my well-being. However, that might still be preferable, if my alternative is to take a crowded train with the pandemic still prevalent. Prior to COVID-19, my general preference would be to walk to the train, then walk from the depot downtown Boston to my office in Cambridge. Not only would it allow for much needed exercise, but it also provided me with beautiful views of the Charles river (sailboats, etc.), but also options to stop into a number of stores along the way, as first-floor retail is common among most buildings in the city.
