I can definately understand the frustrations about the ACRL restoring rail service answer as well as NJT in general. It seems that it's a more important line than NJT might think, especially when heading to AC from South Jersey. People work in Atlantic City too, not just Philadelphia.
While not related to the ACRL, but still NJT. Up north, for about a month, NJT has been randomly cancelling Montclair-Boonton Line Train # 267 every day that it runs and it is getting on so many people's nerves. Fortunately, I don't have to ride it but nevertheless, I find it frustrating. People who work in Jersey City close to Hoboken Terminal who depend on Train # 267 often have to wait a very long time for the next train. NJT shouldn't be cancelling trains randomly on a regular basis. Instead, they should look at the ridership stats for the trains as well as ones that operate very close to each other and if they see that they should combine trains(i.e. a local with an express), then notify customers as soon as you know that the changes will happen. Passengers have to be home at certain times and many of them aren't in positions to come home later than usual. They have family stuff, school meetings, might want to get a workout done at the gym, etc.
