Exploring Boston

Lately I have been exploring the city of Boston more. I used to rely on my roommates to show me around but would like to go see it on my own now. The MBTA subway ("T") is great, especially since it is a short drive from where I live. It costs $1.70 to ride the subway, plus up to $5.00 for parking. There are also commuter rails, buses, and ferries in the public transportation system. Overall, it is worth it because you save money (no expensive garages to pay in Boston and less gas used) and avoid headaches (from driving into a congested city where even GPS gets confused!). When my family visits, I learn more about the different areas of the city because we explore on foot.

I would love to work in the city just so I could use the T to commute there. My current commute is 70 highway miles per day, and that is something I could do without. At my last job in Ann Arbor, MI I took the bus every day, and that was so great. I hope that is something I can do in the future!
