I'd go from Providence into South Station. Then take the Red line to Park St, and the Green line to Arlington.

That's how I do it when I need to take the train into that area, except I go out of Mansfield.

Driving into Braintree is only a benefit if you're going into and leaving Boston during non-rush hour times. If you drive to braintree, you'll still hit a ton of traffic at the 95/93 split, stop-and-go on 128, then about 20 stoplights. I find Braintree is only beneficial on weekend trips to avoid paying to park, but even then, it's become extremely difficult to find a spot that isn't residential only.

A word of warning: they wait for South County people and descend upon them at red lights. Reginald Denny got of easy compared to what the M_ssholes do to slow pokes from southern Rhode Island.

Or Attleboro, red line to downtown crossing, green line to Park Plaza, however the walk through the commons and public garden is only
the challenge is the commute home, you have 1 option the 5:03 and then the 5:40 as the Acela leaves at 5:15
