You'll arrive about 16m sooner (23m by train vs 39m by car). Tickets start at around $15 (€12) compared to roughly $7 (€5) 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.
