WOw!
Thanks for the quick responses.

I was thinking of:
Commuting to 30th Street Station
Take the R7 Train to Trenton
Take a NJ Transit Train from Trenton to Penn Station

Any thoughts about that? Or How much that would even cost? According to their websites (ie Septa, and NJ Transit), I will be paying around $400 a month on transportation...

Hi

   The reason I believe nobody is subsidizing Northeast corridor line
much and business travelers are ready to pay the premium. While most of
the other line are subsidized by state and federal money. I heard that
Northeast corridor line is the only line where Amtrak makes some profit.

With regards
Antony
