> Train stations are usually closer to downtown than airports
This is handy if your destination is in downtown (and your origin is convenient to downtown as well), but if not, you'll need to find other ground transportation. If a rental car makes sense, they're typically easy to find near airports, but a lot of train stations don't offer them. Long term parking is hit or miss, too.
- ghaff 1y agoLocally, going from where I live in Massachusetts to Manhattan only makes sense because I'm going to Manhattan where I don't need/want a car and Amtrak has a south suburban station I can go to. (And even then it's marginal because it's basically an hour in the wrong direction but I hate driving into Manhattan.) Downtown to downtown is great if you live and want to go to downtown which is sometimes true but not always.
