I now know why the situation at Secaucus station was so bad today....

We were told by the planners to expect 8,000-12,000 people traveling by train. The final totals: 28,000.

Trains are wonderful. You sit back. You have room for your feet and your knees. There is no ascent. No descent. No seat-belts. It's great. You can relax and sleep. Of course if the train is very crowded, it's not so comfortable. But it still beats getting stuck in a traffic jam. It still beats the stress of driving.
