    "I used to take the incline into the city before getting a car. I’m not a fan of busses because they aren’t as reliable. I take the T often also. Driving is definitely the best way to get around but public transportation isn’t terrible. There isn’t any “rush hour” traffic on the mountain but trying to get down PJ McCardle around 5pm is quite a lot "
