Your point is well taken, but it is actually about $115 each way with even a minimal advance purchase. Still, we're talking probably a $3000 monthly transportation benefit even with a discounted commuter pass.

If he were a real hero with taxpayer $, he could put a cot in his office to sleep during the week like that freshman congressman from Utah does.

Now try NON-minimal advance purchase. It goes up. They sell last-minute tix cheaper. Also, perhaps he didn't go first class...I just know it was the Acela Express, which runs tomorrow morning for $131 to DC from Wilmington, business class ($197 first class), and $88-146 return ($154-212 first class). Note that the 5:05 pm return is $146, for example. Mid-day rates are less, and the 7:10 is also down to $88.

But from what I have read, then-Senator Biden rode first-class.

And remember, this doesn't count the subsidies he voted for it.

Actually, if he were a real hero with taxpayer $, he would have stayed home and slept, instead of spending our $. :-)
