Question

Do you take the train from NY 2 Philly or vice versa? is it long? does it cost much? is it worth the job?

Answer 1

The 2150 Acela Express  takes about 1 hour 10 min, the other trains about 1 1/2 hours.  Here's the schedule.

I used to drive that long for a one way commute to work and it was bearable, but after 2 years I found something closer to home.  I guess it depends on how much you value your time at home vs time spent going to a higher paying job, or perhaps the only job available.
