You'll arrive about 9m sooner (1h 53m by train vs 2h 2m by car). Tickets start at around $67 (€54) compared to roughly $40 (€33) in fuel and tolls — so you're paying a bit more, but getting hours of your day back, a city-centre arrival, and the freedom to work or relax instead of drive.
Direct services run with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS).
Driving makes more sense if you're travelling as a group (where fuel costs split several ways), want to stop along the way, or need a car once you arrive.
