Uh, an hour and a half for the round trip?
I think I can.
OK, let’s say you live near Airline Hwy or Sherwood Forest. (Baton Rouge landmarks and residential/light commercial areas).
Option A - you get in your car, drive to the train station and wait for a train that runs infrequently on a schedule set by the gummint. You take the train that stops some distance from where you really want to go (except perhaps the NO airport). You then have to arrange or obtain transport to your final destination in NO. Same for the return trip.
Option B - You hop on Interstate 10 at your convenience at the Bluebonnet interchange and drive the not quite 80 miles to your final destination, at your convenience. The TRIP probably lasted a *total* of 90 minutes.
It cost you 4 gallons of gas, one way; how much will the trian cost?
