If I have to get to New York from the western suburbs of Boston it is fastest to drive to New Haven and take commuter rail from the terminus in New Haven to Grand Central. Factor in a discount hotel room and an evening drive to New Haven paired with an early train is optimal. Metro North has the scale and frequency that few if any other rail system in the US can match.
- ghaff 9y agoYeah. I've done that. I still generally prefer to drive to Route 128 and take Amtrak from there just to minimize my driving time. But the nice thing about parking in New Haven is that you have more flexibility over your return time that you don't have if you book Amtrak. Especially for business trips, I tend to book a worst case return and end up hanging around.
