train to Boston (MIT)

I suppose I could just drive and save myself the headaches. And looking at some of these websites and just trying to find a freaking schedule, aside from the crap about scheduled getaways and WHATEVER THE FRIG, can someone tell me (who's done it) if it's practical to get to Boston from NYC by train? Amtrak is just to expensive (~120$ round trip). I doubt sincerely that anyone on this list would have done this, so I guess I'll be driving. I hear Massachusetts people have lost the ability (as if they ever had it) to drive... Metro north only goes as far as Waterbury, CT, so I guess you get off there and start thumbing??? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC
