Ok so I got on the 193 NJ Transit Bus as usual this morning. I was tired so thought maybe I could catch up on some sleep during my “should take 20 minutes but takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half” commute to Port Authority. Unfortunately I chose the wrong seat, […]

Why are people so rude? Frequently the NJT train is so packed that latecomers (or last stopper such as myself must stand) in the aisles. So please tell me why those who had a seat the whole ride feel the need to literally shove those of us standing aside while they insinuate themselves in front […]

I have been commuting for some time. Over the years, I have taken the Northeast corridor train, the Jersey Coast train, the route 9 corridor academy bus and the GSP Academy Buses, I have even driven myself and currently I take the Sea Streak Ferry. I recommend it highly. Although […]

OK…Sunday night and I’ve done the cop out - I;ve gone to the pub and had a few beers so I don’t have to think about the long commute tomorrow morning…

I left my house at 7:10am to catch the 7:44am train. […]

Okay ladies and gents, my company decided to move to Jersey City as on 12/4 and rather than walk (my current commute) to work I’m forced to take the Path from 33rd Street & 6th - -
a Journal Square (JSQ) bound train to the Pavonia/Newport Station and then transfer to a World Trade […]

I take the 0622 MARC into DC from Odenton MD every morning, I’m tired, I’m grumpy, and I want a quiet 60+ minute commute into the Pentagon. I dont want to talk to you Ms. Chatty Kathy nor do I care if your kid has all A’s in the substandard Maryland school system. […]

The final word on excessive cell phone usuage as appears in this Sunday’s NY Times. Although he delves into deeper levels, possible scenarios etc. Even his final verdict is STFU!
