There are a few posters here on FR who think train travel is the best thing since sliced bread.
I say, fine, if YOU want to do it. If I can avoid it, I will because of things like this, and the big guy wearing the “I AM A MOTHER******” shirt (or I shold say, the guy he beat the crap out of, and the people who were rooting for him)
unfortunately the sliced bread factory is now a union shop and the cost per slice has gone up 300% and you need to wait in line for the your lousy moldy bread.
if you think commuter rail to Manhattan stinks, try driving. Trains are late 10% of the time? How often do you think there are traffic jams in NYC? 99%? There's a reason people take commuter rail. Note: I'm not saying its perfect, but for the most part it works and you don't have to worry about finding parking.
