I would ride the train.... I used to take the train from my college to my girlfriends house in NJ all the time. It's cheaper than driving and a lot easier with less to worry about. When in DC, I use they rail system everywhere I go. Using the rail system would be a lot easier when heading out to watch Hurricanes hockey game. It would make traveling a lot easier if you are going to visit family or friends. I think it's a great idea
