So the wise and consumer friendly management of NJT has decided they will “work wth commuters” and honor June Monthly’s through noon July 1. Now I don’t have to stand in line waiting for those 56k modems to check my CC for another 1/2 day. Oh Joy….
They promise to “work with cummuters” over the […]

I was just thinking….NJT should have it’s very own amusement ride at Great Adventure….not for the easily quesy. While you wait on line, you’d see a whole bunch of other rides zip past you, and just when you think you’re about to get on….sike! Then, when you finally do board your ride (after […]

I’m currently on my normal NE corridor train and somewhere past Edison we entered this alternate universe. I have no idea where we are or what tracks we are on. i’ll keep you posted

On the 6:34 out of PJT this morning, a guy got on while talking on his cellphone. When the conductor came around, the guy explained that he had fallen asleep and missed his stop on the westbound train and was heading back to MetroPark.

Union Station had a full eatbound train sitting at the platform w/ all doors closed. Of course, there was no communication so we could only surmise that the train had […]

Is it just me, or are NJT trains extra slow in the morning between Newark and New York? We absolutely crawl to Secaucus every day, and seem to pick up a bit of speed after that.

Ripper, Weren’t you going to put in a category for cell phone transcripts?
Last night there was an open seat (after I made the guy move his laptop bag) on the 5:47 Clocker. I found out why. He was talking baby talk to little Thomas. Thomas went swimming with Mommy in […]

You know I love the fact that my commute is the worst one out there. I lost my license and now I commute from New Brunswick to Englewood. Of course there is no bus or train from NB to Englewood so I have to take the NEC to Penn, walk to the Port Authority and […]

So, did the small dog sitting in the middle seat of a 3-seater on the NEC (6:34 out of PJ) this morning pay for a ticket to sit in that seat???? No chance he was a service dog. But he was quieter than many commuters.
I didn’t have to make a fuss because I […]
