If you’re an active person, getting on the Franklin/Foxboro Line is the way to get outside on the weekend. Instead of getting stuck in traffic you can quickly travel up and down the Commuter Rail, getting on and off as you please with the $10 Weekend Pass. You can go bowling, hiking, and golfing throughout the many stops on the line. You can even go cycling because on weekends the Commuter Rail allows you to bring your bike on the train at the conductor’s discretion.
