With how much work from home has developed from a technology standpoint, with more workers having laptops and the ability to work remotely, I am curious if we will see companies begin to offer benefits like counting part of your commuting time as your work day. For example, you have a 40 minute trai...

I can see a lot of opposition to freight trains idling in Brooklyn for long periods waiting for the tunnel. Might need to invest in shore power connectors so they can be turned off when not in use.

Does this need to provide a seat ride to Manhattan? I was looking at all the connections this route would have with various subway lines. It reminds me of either a G train 2.0 or the Moscow Belt Line. I think it has a lot of potential.

On corridor trains, these could be a very valuable tool to compete with outfits like Megabus.

People who are riding Megabus aren't concerned with large plush seats, they are concerned with a cheap fare. Offer these seats as a "Basic Economy" class on corridor trains.

Yep. It's serious double standards when it comes to airlines vs. rail. Airlines get dinged with Federal tax. Rail doesn't. Airlines get fines for keeping people "trapped" for more than four hours on an airplane stuck on the ground. Rail doesn't. Airlines are obligated by past practice to ...

I'm going to be unpopular and go with airport. The train isn't bad per say, as long as the engine has fuel to keep the HEP available, but as mentioned, at the airport, you have a ton of food choices. You can walk around, plenty of bathrooms, and if you are delayed really bad you can leave the airpor...

If Amtrak cancels a train you are booked on, aren't you entitled to a full refund? Anyway, IMO all transactions involving refunds or cancellations should be handled in person or by voice! You are, but here's the problem for some people, they may still want to travel, and in that case, a full refund...

I installed a new Tapatalk version plugin and I am no longer receiving the $Server error when using PM.

If you are a Tapatalk user, try this feature out.

That honestly seems like it should be illegal.

My friend is in NY today and got hit with one of the cancellations and let me say, I don't usually complain much, but Amtrak did a really pathetic job of handling it. He's booked for NYP-BAL, but he's a train that goes south of DC. The email essentially says "The train is cancelled, there are n...

Would they be able to allow 2 trains in a station at the same time? I know Jamaica LIRR prior to COVID, I'd sometimes see 1 train entering the single "transfer" tracks that each side has where the doors open on each side while another train was still leaving the station.

I had a chance to use OMNY today, after pre-pandemic metrocard ran out. Very easy to use, just opened up Google Pay and paid. I would love to see them bring back the 1 day unlimited ride pass. It seems to me that OMNY might make that possible, since people aren't as likely to discard something you h...

I was riding the subway today and I was amazed at how many signals there are between 36th Street and 9th Ave. I know there is a yard there, but I also know there's tracks leading to the lower level platforms and ramps without rails that lead up from the west end of the tunnel as well, so I imagine t...

It's a real shame MARC won't use the line. I don't see the light rail to Branch Ave being popular. Just thinking about how much land is around the line in Southern Maryland for park and ride, it would be amazing. Plus, there's that huge parking lot at Route 4 and 301 a short walk to the tracks. Upgr...
