Thanks, but that is not a good option for me!
The commuter rail doesn't have the "every 10 minute" schedule. I could park at the Andover station, but the T schedule is much better. I park 2 t-stops away from North Station and the T goes right into the Garden. It is usually fine but the work on 93 is tough.
I'll never understand the commuter rail schedule for the Haverhill Line.
They have a train departing at 9:40 p.m. and the next one is 11:40 p.m.
There are probably around 75 Bruins and Celtics nighttime home games each year and if you want to take the train, most nights your options are to leave before the game is over to catch the 9:40 train or wait until 11:40.
When the kids were little, we'd have loved to take the train for convenience, but it never made sense because of the schedule.
So we'd typically end up paying the $60 for the garden parking garage because I was never crazy about walking even a few blocks at night with young kids. Not to mention how cold it is in Dec-February.
I'm sure there's a reason for that schedule --- probably 11:40 is there for the hospital workers that get out at 11, but simply moving the 9:40 train to 10:05 seems like an easy fix.
