Murphy just wants more Dem hacks in control of unionized worker organizations. He has NO plan for infrastructure, just personnel changes that benefit the Dems. Yeah OK and of course the previous Governor, Fat Moron did not appoint his friends to high positions on NJT thereby helping to degrade the ...

It sounds like a bunch of kids from a disenfranchised low income area of the city were out making mischief the only way they know how and this terrible crash was the result. Poverty claims more victims, then republicans slash amtrak's budget and call a legitimate question about funding stupid while...

Re: Amtrak Gateway Tunnels

The big ticket item in congress seems to be the TPP and whether it should be fast tracked. Infrastructure improvements have taken a back seat for now. There's no consensus on how to fund infrastructure projects though.

If a tunnel went out tomorrow, we'd be in some very deep doodoo. You have one track out for the high speed upgrade project... Then with all of the NY metro area airports at full capacity, flying in would not offer an effective alternative. Also with the skyway partly closed and PABT at capacity, yo...

Obviously, it's nowhere near as bad as the 2010 fare hikes and service cuts. But it's still a PITA with off peak round trips still discontinued.

Re: One seat ride between New York and Bay Head?

A big part of the problem with CL service is that many CL trains are forced to do local duty on the inner-zone NEC, which kills running times. There really should be more South Amboy locals (to free Long Branch trains to run express), just as there should be rush-hour direct RVL service, but the tu...

And with gas still not very expensive, it's not a bad idea to drive.

The WSJ reports that the fare hike is proposed to be 9%. I wonder how much ridership they will lose with gas being as cheap as it is now? I would have thought that making the current fares off-peak and the new peak fares 15% higher was a much better option. Who knows how much longer gas will be che...

NJT Under Guadagno (Hypothetical)

The NJ Assembly will bring up articles of impeachment on Governor Christie for his Bridgegate Scandal by the end of the month. If he is removed from office by the senate, what changes can NJT expect with Guadagno as governor?
