I really wanted to like Amtrak. I live in Palatka, FL. I've thought about getting a job in Jacksonville. That's an hour commute both ways by my car. There is an Amtrak station just a few blocks from me. I thought, "Hey, I could commute into work while working." Unfortunately, it's a nonstarter. They cost $20 bucks to go one way. They have limited times that make no sense from a job perspective unless I worked second shift. And Jacksonville doesn't have DC/NYC style local light rail. Finally, the times the same. So if I were to go that way, I'm driving.
