You'll arrive about 58m sooner (11h 50m by train vs 12h 48m by car). Tickets start at around $206 (€166) compared to roughly $162 (€131) 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.
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.
