The journey is about 15m faster (2h 22m by train vs 2h 37m by car) and roughly $43 (€35) cheaper once you factor in fuel and tolls ($50 (€41) vs $92 (€77)). You'll also arrive in the city centre rather than hunting for parking, and you can work, read, or watch the landscape go by instead of concentrating on the road.
