thumper1: For us, the freedom to drive home when she wants and the cost factor of taking the train or flying is a huge trade off. Amtrak fares fluctuate wildly (we do have the Student Advantage membership but often the availability of her work schedule precludes us from purchasing 3 days in advance) but taking Amtrak round trip runs anywhere from $180 - $320 depending on the time and Greyhound actually runs even more expensive. Flying is in the plus $300 range and requires an hour and a half trip to the airport each way for me to pick her up and drop her off. So basically one round trip on Amtrak or Greyhound can equal 6 months of storage facility or parking rental outside of the city. She doesn’t need or want a car in the city, only for trips home and occasional day trips outside of the city (she is a country girl who enjoys nature).
