I'm all for it. I'm sure things will have changed for me by the time they actually have trains up and running, but it would be great for me know.

I go to school in Boston but my parents live in Jersey and my fiances parents live near Portland Maine. Anytime I go home or up to her parents house, I take the train. I sold my car before I came to college, I hate the bus, and planes are to expensive.

To get from Boston to my home in Jersey it takes up to 9 hours (driving is about 5) from start to finish on trains. It really depends on the amount of time I spend waiting in New York for the commuter rail to Jersey, but if the ride from Boston to NYC was 1.5 hours as apposed to 4, it would be so much quicker.
