The New York Times in it's NJ Section for Sunday 9/26 (no on-line link that I can find) reported that:
"New Jersey Transit's rail division has its own sort of Holy Grail - the perfect on-time day, which is a midnight to midnight run of every train entering and leaving a station on time. The last time it came together on a weekday was around 1989, although no one at the transit agency can remember exactly when."
"That is until last month."
"On Tuesday August 24, all of New Jersey Transit's 680 trains were as reliable as a Swiss watch"
See what schedule padding will get you.
