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.
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
