Yesterday it was “due to a police investigation at 34th and 6th”, the train got rerouted to 8th Ave. Today, “All V trains are suspended.” When it rains? ‘No V service.” WTF?
This sucks because the train runs right under my building at Madison Ave and is the most convenient, especially in the heat and cold […]

Talking to my friends around the Washington DC metro area, commuting is quite a challenge this week…by car or by train.
My one friend said she was sitting on the Metro train for god knows how long trying to get into DC yesterday. A few of the stations near the Potomac flooded. They pumped them out […]

This morning as I was boarding the shitty RVL to get to work, I hear someone behind me saying excuse me. I took my headphones off and turned around to some guy who asked me if the train went to Roselle Park. As soon as his mouth opened, I thought someone through shit at my […]

It just gets better and better out here on the trains. Tonight there was a bomb threat at the Nwk Int’l Airport stop. All train service came to a complete stand still until we were given the all clear to proceed. Even then the trains were not allowed to stop at the airport. Then on […]

Need help commuting. As much of a “Joisi Girl” that I am, I have no clue how to get around in NY by subway. Could someone please tell me the easiest and fastest way to travel between Penn Station NY and Grand Central Station without getting lost somewhere in Brooklyn. I know my feet could […]

I was driving home last Friday on Reston Parkway, which is a major three-lane road around here. First, I had to move out of a lane that was moving really slow. I soon realized that the reason was some moron on a bike puffing his way uphill. And not near the side of the road, […]

On my way home on Thursday night (RVL 6:23 out of Newark) a middle-aged couple sat across from me in a 2-seater. The train pulls out of the station and this gray-haired guy and dyed blonde woman start groping each other like they’re in their own bedroom. It got to the point I thought she […]

We came to a halt just past Millburn, waited for a few minutes, then BACKED-UP to the Millburn station. No announcements were made about why we backed up, until we pulled […]
