I left my house for the 6:50 out of Little Silver. Get to the lot, check the app, says the 6:50 is cancelled. I said ok, I will wait in the car for the 7:15. 6:50 in rolls a train, but I can't get to it NOW because I am in the car in the lot on the other side of the tracks.

I go inside later and ask the agent WTF. politely, of course. Oh, that was the 6:27 running late.

Stupid, lazy, incompetent a-holes are running this system. Now I will be late for the event I had to attend.

You may not believe this, but once upon a time, this nonsense was the exception, not the rule. I had hopes for Kolluri making improvements, but it just seems worse.

No trains are boarding at NY Penn currently.

Would it even be worth it to get the PATH from NY to NWK?

idek what a brush fire is in all honesty, but will it cause delays tmr morning? I fear I can’t be to work late…

… if they won’t originate trains from Hoboken or Newark? At least if they ran diesels out of Hoboken they could run Coast Line train.

On the scheduled 12:04 AC to Philly. We were an hour late leaving AC, and at Lindenwold they announced that Philly travelers had to change to PATCO. Vague mention of a fire on the tracks, but not where.

Posting this to find out if I should return from 30th or go to PATCO for my trip back. Anyone with news?

I normally take the NJCL from matawan > penn NY on the 6:17 train

Recently I’ve been taking the later trains due to time changes at work but wow so many cancellations and issues, is this normal for the 7am trains and later?? Or is it just recently cause I’m about to change my commute time back to 6am

Today specifically the one train I needed was cancelled, the rest were on time and fine?? I didn’t have time to wait for the next so I went back home, should I keep catching the earlier trains?

Multiple evening trains delayed, massive overcrowding and heat. What was the problem?

Anybody know whats going on? Why are there major bus delays? I haven’t seen it this chaotic before.

What are the guidelines for complaining or informing NJ Transit about disruptive passengers?

One very selfish passenger just boarded with the modern equivalent of a boom box, blasting music loudly across train cars and singing along loudly.

Not only is it performative and selfish, assuming other passengers want to listen to this trash, it disrupts the entire commute (this is Trenton to NY Penn).

How have you handled, or seen handled, this type of stupid disturbance?

It’s kind of inconvenient to take the PATH to Newark Penn and then transfer to visit my family. With how big Jersey City is and how fast it’s growing you’d think it’d be connected to the rest of the lines. Does anyone know why it’s not/ if they’d ever consider adding another station in the future?

Has there been an uptick in people consistently getting on the wrong trains? Not having their tickets ready? I know mistakes happen, however it’s been feeling excessive at this point.

Just today, before the train departed, the conductor said the route like 6x. Repeating over and over and over what destination (i.e. Dover) and that the train does not, I repeat DOES NOT go to Newark Penn, DOES NOT go to Newark airport. That the train is in fact going to Dover, and therefore NOT Newark Penn and the airport. The announcements have a comedic and sarcastic tone.

And after telling us in 3 different ways that the train is not going to those stops, he repeats the stops after we start moving and advises that if we do not want the stops he said, that we are on the wrong train and to just transfer at Secaucus.

One time the conductor kept repeating to activate your ticket like 8x before departing.

I don’t remember hearing these kinds of excessive announcements a few months ago.

I find it aggravating at this point. I guess someone, somewhere needs 10 warnings before the train pulls off. I just turn the volume up on my headphones to drown it out.

Hi there…does anyone know why it won’t include PATH options on the trip planner anymore. I can’t see it as an option anymore.

I’m on the RVL and go to world trade but now it won’t show.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I see some options of the 64 route which is directly from old bridge park and ride, take 139 to port authority then another route (158) to Lincoln harbor, or can take train from Aberdeen to Hoboken (have to switch trains in Secaucus) then rail to Hoboken.
