<p>[quote user="bedell"]</p> <p>So.... Is it worth the extra money on both a personal and general level? [/quote]</p> <p>Whether the Acela is worth the money depends on your perspective and pocket book. The was my second ride on the Acela. The first was from Philadelphia to New York a year or so ago. It was worth it, but I don't believe that I would do it again.</p> <p>I worked for an electric utility for most of my career. My company would have frowned on using the Acela for the marginal saving in time at a significant incremental increase in cost. However, many firms are not as cost sensitive as utility companies. Moreover, there are heaps of people in the Northeast who can afford the Acela. In fact, I noticed that the first class car was nearly 3/4s full. Some of the passengers looked too young be be travelling on an expense account.</p>
