Yes, and if you are going 'burb to 'burb, you can drive it in less
time.


I did drive to Elizabeth when I stayed there. That is actually not a
bad ride into town in the morning on Amtrak. IBM was at 2 Penn Plaza
so the only time I was outside was walking across the street from the
motel to the station.
If I stayed at the Penn Garbage, I took the Metroliner.


In the 80's we took the train in to NYC from East Islip. Much easier than
trying to park. Same with going in to DC, take the rapid transit, park
outside.
