The driving in eastern Massachusetts is pretty horrible, especially during rush hour (7:30am - 9:30am | 4:30pm - 6:30pm). Inside Route 128/I-95 expect to see many one-lane roads with traffic lights everywhere. Very slow moving at times with over-saturated roads. The Worcester area is just as bad. So are some communities in between I-495 and 128/I-95.
Public transit in the state is great IF you work/live near a train or subway line. Driving/parking to stations can be time consuming and expensive. Plenty of bus routes inside 128/I-95, though they have to deal with road traffic.
I lived in Boston for a bit without a car near the subway. Super-easy (and cheap!) to get around. It's definitely a very walkable city so long as you have something warm to wear in the winter. Having a car in Boston is expensive mostly due to parking. There is street parking, but good luck getting a spot! :)
