Easy explanation - we're a family of four. Multiply all transit expenses by 4, while toll gas and parking is fixed price. I've been actively looking for an excuse to take a train trip and I cannot make it a reasonable decision. Currently I'm thinking about Newark for Union @ Redbulls, and could at least take the PATH into the city from there.

My experience is like yours (unreasonably expensive). I can't ever make Amtrak make sense financially, even though I love a train ride. For kicks I just looked up Wilmington DE to Baltimore on a random Friday a few weeks from now. Every ticket is more than $100 per person, one way. Especially when traveling with multiple people there is no way to justify train over driving.

Lol I want to take the kids on an Amtrak trip so bad. I'm like, hmm well if we leave at 10 PM it's "only" $66 per person. One way. Sure it's 8x more expensive than driving, and sure we arrive at midnight, but the 5 y/o will prob be fine ...
