New Haven's main train station, Union Station is 3.5 miles from us. I could catch a train there twice an hour to a train station 1.5 miles from my job. Made for a nice 10 mile/day bicycle commute. Round trip to work w/o train is 32 flattish miles.
Just opened on the same line is a brand new station half a mile from our home! Commuting is incredibly convenient now. Riding in this morning's snow was no big deal!
We can also hop on this and be in NYC in no time flat. Within walking distance! My wife works in uptown Manhattan, not conveniently reached by train. I'm working on her a bit to try a train ride in now and then.
