Two notes on this.
Boston commutes are long - even with the T. Unless you can walk to work, expect a long commute.
Have her take a photo of her license plate and keep it in her phone. I do that for all the times I end up at a parking place where they ask for this.
Despite all the leg work I have been doing, she is actually super resourceful and she won’t make the license plate mistake twice!
After Dover, she is living in Fenway and will have an 8 minute walk to work! She was expecting an hour+ commute, but it was more like an hour and 15 minutes. Again, not a big deal for a week, but she will be thrilled when she is in her apartment/neighborhood and it is all easy.

Like someone else said, commuting from a suburb into most any city is time intensive. If someone likes to read, it’s a great way to pass the time.
The “ticket” she’s likely to receive might be $7… unless it’s changed the tickets were basically the daily rate plus a small fee. But be sure to pay it timely because it does escalate quickly and substantially.
The light rail system can be interesting people watching. If you commute at normal commute times (7A-10A in, 4P-6P out) you’re going to be on there with 90% professionals doing the commute thing. Take it when a ball game is letting out and it’s rowdy, often drunk, passengers. The D line runs right through a hospital area and even at odd hours likely to run into nurses and the like.
