I also have records of years' worth of trips, by Metroliner and by regular train, of trips between Philadelphia and NYC. There has been inflation, of course, and I am also richer than I used to be. But that trip has gone from easily affordable to steep to out of my price range. If I make the trip alone, taking the train, even the cheapest Amtrak, is certainly no less expensive than driving, even including tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike AND parking in NYC. And if I'm going with another person who would have to pay an Amtrak fare, chartering a jet looks good.
