Hard to imagine there are some people who make a commute like this on a daily basis: I left Grand Central Terminal on an 11:07 MetroNorth train and arrived in New Haven just before 1 p.m. Since my car was back on campus, I waited about an hour for an Amtrak train to ferry me one stop north to Wallingford and then walked back to campus from the train station. Total cost for the trip was a modest $19 ($14 on MetroNorth and $5 on Amtrak).
