Take the A Train
I’ve often considered taking an Amtrak train for business and personal trips, but I always run into the same problems:
1. It doesn’t go where I want to go.
2. It’s not any less expensive than flying.
3. It’s not any faster than driving.
As a minor consolation, an enterprising graphic designer has recast the Amtrak route map in the style of subway diagrams, showing stops by route rather than strict geography. At least it helps me to address my first concern: now I can see more quickly that the trains don’t go where I want to go.
Has anyone had any success taking the train? How did it compare to flying or driving?
