Amtrak is cheaper if you can book a good ways in advance. So if your work trips can be planned in advance by a couple months you can get tickets for $30-$40 each way.

Heck, I found a trip to Philly in April that would cost $5 for coach and would be about 1hr 15 min.

I wonder if they still have monthly passes to NY. It may be a few hundred dollars but if you go enough it would be worth it.

Yep, I go to slightly-upstate NY about 6x/year, always get my amtraks about a month in advance (or longer). Usually ends up being about 90$ round trip for BWI to Croton-Harmon.
