Had to pick between a $500 flight or a 14-hour train ride for a work trip to Chicago last month.

I chose the train to cut my carbon footprint, but man, that extra travel time really messed up my schedule, so is the climate benefit worth the personal cost?

My buddy did that once and his whole week got thrown off, so maybe not.

His whole week? From one train nap? That's a serious domino effect.

Honestly, the sleep you get on a train is way better than a plane. Maybe @taylor174's buddy was just bad at planning his naps. That extra rest could balance out the schedule hit.
