Is it realistic to consider commuting from New York to Philadelphia via train. Does anybody on the forum do this, if so what are the monthly costs??

There are a number of long-distance commuters who take Amtrak from 30th Street in Philly to NYC's Penn Station every day. I recall reading an article about it sometime ago. It's about a 90-minute trips. I don't know the cost but I'm sure that Amtrak will be able to tell you. I would recommend the SEPTA/NJ Transit combo for occasional trips but the 2-hour grind would be too much every day even at probably half the cost.
