I have to commute a long distance to get to work, right now. Philadelphia is about 60 miles away from Dayton, NJ, so I spend a little over two hours in the car each day. Also, in downtown Philadelphia, street parking is very scarce, so the only reasonable alternative for someone commuting by car is to purchase parking, which is quite expensive.
I may attempt to take the train each morning from Philly to Princeton, a town about 5-10 miles away from whereI work. I would park my car at a commuter lot in Princeton, and then drive the distance between the station and my job. I would have to get up a bit earlier, in order to make sure I caught the train on time, which would be inconvenient, but it would definitely be nice to have a couple of hours each day to read or work, while I was on the train. It also seems like Iwould be able to cut my travel costs in half.
