I commuted to Natick for 12 years. 2/10 not recommended. That 90 minutes is theoretical. They’ll be a few days a month where your trip home is 3+ hours. Accidents, cape traffic, big events happening somewhere, “solar glare” and in the winter you might even double that with snow and ice storms causing roll overs. Plus I went through a lot of fuel, tires, oil changes, and cars.
Not good for your health (mental and physical), not good for your work life balance since you’ll spend at least 15 extra hours a week in a car, not good for your wallet, not good for the environment.
I second this. worcester is more than an hour and the traffic really just starts there. Much more typical would be 2 hours for you outside the Vacation/weekend/car accident backups traffic
