Why you should never travel on Acela Express

New Haven to New York isn't a very fair comparison. You probably also shouldn't fly that route. But if you're going Boston to New York, then you're more in the Acela sweet spot. 3 hours for Acela and $95 vs. 4.5 hours and $55 for Greyhound (or $20 and Chinatown bus). For the extra $40 you get the shorter ride, a more comfortable sea, and better on-time performance.
