I've been doing it for much of the summer and I tell ya, it sucks! Amtrak is too expensive on a short notice basis (up to $100+ if there’s a seat to had) and the traffic over the MidHudson bridge can be murderous at times, usually when you're trying to get to a train on time. All that driving gets to be a drag. It’s three hours out (both directions) of your day.Wish they thought of it sooner. Like six months ago. Getting on a train directly from Albany to NYC without the extortionate fare has long been a dream for many around here. |
