The train does run more frequently, but all considered, the bus is less hassle, and unless you have all the clear/pre options for accelerating TSA, you will almost certainly lose the time savings from the train by doing security again.

Take the bus from gate B1. The train is landside, and you would need to redo TSA at T5 if using it.

Thanks for your replies, I do appreciate them. The bus it is. I do have TSA precheck and the only way I would use that is if the flight inbound is very late and the train runs more frequently then I would probably use that option. I think the bus departs about every 15 Min? I will have printed out the boarding passes.

The train is marginally faster but then you have to re-clear security at T5 which will usually shift the advantage back to the bus.
The bus stop is at gate B1. It drops you off at M13 in T5.
B1 has no elevator or escalator. You must carry your bags down (or up) the stairs. M13 has elevators.

My last T1-T5 flight about 6 months ago--I decided I had plenty of time and would take the train. T-5 security was a zoo with no clear start of line. It took over 1.5 hours to clear security in T-5. I have pre-check but the pre-check line was closed and they were sending everyone through the same line. That will be the last time I do that, unless the bus is not running.
