5.0
Pros: I chose the train for this one-day festival getaway to avoid the high cost of gasoline, have the freedom to relax, and avoid Sunday auto traffic; also to avoid parking problems at a crowded event. It worked out great. Cons: To, and return trans were both delayed 1/2 hour. Most likely unforeseen problems. Some passengers in a group were boisterous and most likely drunk. Tips: Reserve early.
