Best route to Mass Pike at rush hour?
So I just got a job offer for a job that would require me to take the pike out to Framingham area every morning. I've never actually tried to get to the pike (I'm in Ball Square area) in the morning, and wondered if anybody had favored routes?

Also, FYI, you can deduct daily toll payments as an employment expense ONLY if you have a FastLane pass and the ensuing paperwork statement to document them. Sucky, but true.
Also, though, maybe explore going out Rte. 30 instead of the Pike? Traffic patterns might make it worthwhile. Or will you be working *right* off the highway?

While it's called the "commuter deduction", the tolls don't have to be employment-related -- any tolls paid via a FastLane are deductible.
The same applies to monthly and weekly T passes.
The bigger benefit to FastLane is the 25 cent discount at the two tolls inside 128, and the 50 cent discount at the harbour tunnels.
