So I have been a NJ Transit bus driver for 6 years now and I still cannot understand why there is at least a few people that get on my bus that have to have their phones on speaker to have a conversation. What ever happened to just not having it on speaker and holding the phone up to your ear.
It’s the 5:30AM-ish train to Newark Penn. It was cancelled, and I couldn’t find an explanation, or any incidents in the local news. Does anyone know why?
The service has been terrible these past few months to begin with. The train runs on schedule MAYBE 25% of the time- and is making me late to work pretty often now. At that ungodly hour, I’d have to take the one train that leaves earlier in the morning, and I’d hate to do that.
It’s a shame we can’t rely on our train, and if cancelling morning trains is something else we now have to contend with, it’ll be completely unreliable.
Does anyone bother paying for the NJ bus ticket on the app? I just moved to Newark and I work at the airport. I’ve rode on the bus 3 three times and every time I present my digital ticket, they don’t authenticate it hell they barely even look at it. Is that normal? I even presented a paper ticket yesterday that expired in September and the driver took it without looking at it.
It’s been so cold in the mornings but the buses are still freezing with AC blasting. My fingers are nearly frozen by the time i get off. Anyone else experience this?
I take the NJCL 3x a week and the train is routinely terminated in Newark due to mechanical issues. Actually not complaining here because I get off at Newark, but I’m just wondering what kind of mechanical issues it usually is? I feel like sometimes I overhear the conductors in Long Branch talking about how the train is going to have to terminate in Newark, so it’s not always spontaneous error. I’ve always assumed it had something to do with the speed they need to get through the tunnel but that’s a guess.
116 years. Who’s on the last ever train?
Can’t seem to find this info anywhere yet. I don’t mind taking the ferry to 39th but currently the last morning ferry is at 935am and I regularly commute after that -__-
