I take MBTA or Amtrak to get to South Station from Providence or the new Pawtucket station to hop on the the Silver Line to get to Boston Logan.

I prefer Amtrak, because it’s quicker and more comfortable. But I’ll take whichever fits my schedule. The Acela is the only reliably on time option. But it tends to be the most expensive. Personally, I max my train budget at $30 per leg. If it’s more expensive than that I’ll wait for a cheaper one.
