Both roads should be part of my commute, but I take back roads instead. The truth is most of that congestion is people driving through the state. It should be a toll road, with an EZ pass system that charges local vehicles little or no money.

I take the train whenever I can. The issue is I am on the Waterbury line. Diesel train, slow as hell, and not even a train every hour. So if you miss the train, you are fucked. For some reason, there is a two-hour gap between 8-10, so it fucks anyone with a local commute. I love the train and would take it more, but it is a hassle. I do it once or twice a week to take a breather from the death race of Route 8.

Certainly enough density around lines down the valley.
