Thanks for the input! I was considering biking but I'll grab a ride instead. Good to know about rush hour, too. I'll keep that in mind and do my best to be early.

As a counterpoint, I left my bike at the downtown train station every day from 7-ish in the morning to 6-ish at night for about a year and never had a problem. Normal commuter hybrid bike, normal u-lock, just locking back wheel and frame.

You can take your bike on the train with you for some of the trains between Providence and Boston. Basically, if you are headed inbound other than the main commuter morning commuter rush, or outbound other than the afternoon rush. If you check the schedule, you’ll see a bike symbol at the top for the times when you can bring a bike. If you’re going on the weekend, you can take a bike anytime.

Another tip for the weekend: be sure to scroll a little lower on the app for the $10 unlimited rides ticket. It’s a big savings over the $12.25 one-way!
