With above website, one can choose a date and time for available trains.
Depends upon where you want to go. Walking probably is the best choice for touring Yale University properties in downtown, especially the historic buildings.
Otherwise one would need to take bus or drive.

Travelling to New Haven from Washington D.C, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton, New York City, Providence, and Boston is best by train (Metro-North or Amtrak). By airline, you will have to land at Bradley Intl. north of Hartford and find a way south. Small aircraft can land at Tweed-New Haven, but larger aircraft cannot. By car, just take I-95 or I-91. Both of these highways meet at New Haven.
New Haven Metro Taxi (phone # 777-7777) is always reliable, but can be expensive. There is no subway system, but busses do run the city streets regularly. There is limited street car service within the immediate city center, near the Green and Yale University.

From New York City, Metro North runs trains every hour during peak commuting time trains runs every 15-20 minutes.
It's a much cheaper and quicker option that Amtrak
Buses - The bus system is just ok, but the connections and times leave a bit to be desired.
Walking - If you only have a few days and are staying downtown, the area can be explored easily on foot.
Taxis - Are average priced but not very clean and usually smell of smoke.
