<p>There are never any layovers (transfers) or waits on the trains from New York to New Haven or vice versa. It is always a one seat ride. Princeton is always a two seat ride; there are no direct trains.</p>
<p>Regarding cabs, not true. Like at other campuses, a special Yale shuttle bus exists, which goes to the train station there every 10 minutes or so, not to mention the fact that you can call it to anywhere else you might want to be picked up 24/7. If you did want to take a cab, there are always taxis right in front of the train station – New Haven is one of the busiest train stations in the United States, after all.</p>
