You'll arrive about 39m sooner (2h 12m by train vs 2h 51m by car). Tickets start at around $93 (€76) compared to roughly $42 (€35) 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.
