I don't think there's any single commuter rail train that is 2.25 hours. What commuter rail station are you looking at? The stations in the "Fall River area" aren't open yet.

The closest station near there is Middleboro/Lakeville. Assuming worst case- that station to Forest Hills, is 1.5 hours.

firstly, she should try both, see what she prefers. i take the T into boston for work and from the edge of 95 (waltham), it's about 30-40 minutes, depending on the commuter rail being... you know, american infrastructure-y.

really, just check the commuter rail schedule, it's the "ideal" version, but shows you the length of time it should roughly take: https://www.mbta.com/schedules/commuter-rail

also make sure you choose the time when checking google maps for driving - it defaults to current conditions, but modifying it to rush hour times will show you, it's a way worse drive...

also we could really help a lot better if you would let us know the commuter rail stop and the orange line stop she needs to get off at.
