Commute from N Shore to Cambridge (Salem, Marblehead: train, station, best)

[scarletfire]

Hi all - What do you think the drive time would be from Salem or Marblehead to Cambridge during rush hour and what's the best route to take?

thanks!

Over an hour, and I think 95 is the only choice. It's a very very crowded drive. I'd do anything to find another way or place. Sorry.

I think the easiest way would be to take the train to North Station and then the EZ ride shuttle that runs from North Station to various stops in Cambridge. It would probably take an hour but it would be a much more relaxing commute.

Thanks!! Do you know where I can find info about the shuttle stops? Is that part of MBTA service?
