Wait... by train do you mean do you commute into Manhattan by Train on MetroNorth, the Long Island Railroad or New Jersey Transit or are you using the word "Train" in lieu of a more accurate term like "The Subway" or "The PATH".

That said, when I was first starting out, I would take NJ Transit into the city and then walk (or subway/cab it if the weather was awful). Now, I take the PATH in and walk it unless the weather is awful.

 

Train -> PATH -> walk

When it makes financial sense, I'm moving closer to where I work, and if they'll let me camp out in the office, even better.

Get busy living
 

Train > Path > Walk

My company doesn't reimburse commuter expenses, but I don't have to pay taxes on them, they are auto deducted from my paycheck.

 

Well bullocks! My private driver named George comes to pick me up ! I thought everyone had one?

If I lived in Sao Paolo I would just use a private helicopter to be shuttled from building top to building top.
