Reply to comment by Cooking_with_MREs in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55

This is why I always take Amtrak to NYC instead of driving.

It might take an extra 20 minutes (or might not), and my time is limited by the train, but the Amtrak fare is usually cheaper than tolls and parking, and I can just veg and listen to whatever on my phone.

I did have to sit near Havre de Grace for about 20 minutes last time.

I think even the Amtrak regional is faster than driving (Acela blows driving out of the water). When driving, It's very difficult to avoid DC and NYC traffic, which can easily tack on 30-60 min (at a minimum). It's at least a 3.5 hour drive without traffic but you have to be speeding to accomplish this.
