Depends. Where I lived, there was no option to take a train so I took the bus. This is back in the day. The bus ride wasn't that bad, it was the bus stations that sucked. Homeless bums loitering 24/7 checking all the pay phone change slots, asking for your aluminum can when you are still drinking your soda, smelly bus stations, etc.
Train is much nicer and doesn't make stops for Amish people on the roadside. Those biotches love them some Lay's potato chips. I thought they lived an all natural lifestyle, until one of them pulled out his suitcase on the bus and whipped out a couple bags of Lay's. They were eating good.
