Has anyone ever taken an Amtrak to/from Connecticut to NYC? I am thinking of going there fro the summer with my family but would need to travel in for work. It isn't cheap but seems the most efficient way of traveling. Someone said it is dangerous, though. Anyone know anyone who has taken it?

I've taken it. Not sure why you would think it's dangerous? Where in CT are you going? It might make sense to also look at taking the metro North transfer to the Shoreline East. That was way cheaper for me when I wanted to go deeper into CT.

I would go from Penn Station to Wallingford, near Durham. My brother went to Waterbury yeshiva and said the boys there, not the tamest bunch, avoided it because it went through bad neighborhoods. He said he heard of people taking knives with them if they were traveling alone.

And I would not take Metro North because it would require an additional transfer to get to it, and then a shuttle and a 10 minute walk from the station. I'd save $10 each way but lose an hour.

We live in CT and my teenage daughters take metronorth from Bridgeport to grand central practically on a weekly basis, as do all the other kids who go to touro or other schools in NY. There's never been an issue. The conductors even know them by now.
