What is the average daily commute time from North Pembroke to South Station in Boston? I'm referring to the morning rush hour time of day (7-830). It would be great if posters could break it down by travel option (for example, driving to Braintree red line train versus driving in all the way and so on).
Leaving BEFORE 6:15 will get you to South Station anywhere between 7am or 730am depending on day of week/time of year/weather.
Leaving between 6:15 an 7am will take about 75 minutes.
Leaving between 7 and 830 will take anywhere from 80 and 120 minutes.
If its raining, there is an accident, Labor/Memorial day week, you can tack on an additional 30-45 minutes. I dont take the train anymore (takes just as long)
For a very short time (3 months), my husband and I commmuted from the Duxbury/Pembroke line to Boston. We drove and took the T from Braintree (or Quincy Adams when Braintree was full).
We left around 7 a.m. and got into work at 9 a.m., though at the time we were both in Back Bay. South Station would have saved at least 15 minutes. We spent about an hour on the road (10 minutes to exit 12 on Route 3, the remaining 50 minutes sitting in traffic from exit 12 to Braintree).
A couple of times we took the commuter ferry in Hingham. Travelling via 3A, it took about 40 minutes to get to Hingham, then another 40 minutes on the ferry. For us, the ferry didn't really save any time, but it was more expensive.
We lived in Duxbury before the Greenbush line was put in, but that's another option to get in to South Station. You could drive to Scituate (a half of an hour?) and then take the train into South Station.
I would probably go with the Greenbush option because 1.) You don't have to worry about traffic and 2.) it takes you right to south station.
