Sure, but when you live way over on the other end of the South End (i.e.
closer to Copley) it's a trudge over the Mass. Ave to catch the #1,
especially in bad weather. So I'd take the Orange line dowtown to the Red
line, and inevitably wind up standing in dank, airless, Downtown Crossing
waiting for the train for some interminable period of time. 

It's doable, but unpleasant. Now I drive. 10-15 minutes door to door.
