Re: Hurricane Sandy (issues and recovery time)

You don't mention how you got to those web addresses, but I assume you started at NJT's home webpage. Is this another case where one can get contradictory info depending on where one clicks? i'm clicking the red banner on the home page. one thing i forgot to copy over is that apparently Main Line s...

As the NJT website is somewhat unclear. Is there anysort of service whatsoever on weekends on lines serving Bergen County(Main/Bergen, PVL)? I'm looking to get from Hillsdale to Hoboken on Saturday via public transit, and the "Bus to PA>Walk a few blocks>Ferry to Hoboken or PATH to Newport&quo...

Well, M&E service was only added late last night. At the time you mentioned (and the time that article was published) there was only the Main/BC/PV Lines/ST and the NEC/RVL lines announced to be running on Monday. They didn't expect M&E service to get up until later in the week, but I guess...

i guess they fixed it. last night they had posted the same map as the one shown on this article: http://theboken.com/hoboken-headlines/path-train-in-hoboken-will-not-be-restored-for-several-more-weeks/ note that the date still says monday nov 12. and when i say "last night", i mean around ...

so, this is awesome! now, check out the "recovery map" for service as of today. what does it say? no service to summit/morristown no PATH service to newark just when i thought they got their act together, nope, not even close. from that map it's also not really clear whether Bergen line is...

most likely because it's cheaper to operate? also, something like half of BART technology was custom-built and is therefore pretty expensive to obtain. never mind the fact that it's not really tied into the rest of the system in any appreciable manner, so it wouldn't make much sense for it to be int...

look, have you seen the MTA coverage? it's detailed. it's easy to find. it's got graphics and formatting and doesn't contain a typo on every other word. i'm sorry, I understand that NJT is under a ton of shit right now. fortunately, the PR people are tasked with PR and it's highly unlikely they are ...

what exactly is the point of these proposals? Is Amtrak somehow hampering improvements in service?

Muni has day passes (1, 3, and 7 days, I think) which are a good deal if you're going to be riding Muni a lot in one day. They're good on all Muni services (except for ballpark bus specials), including cable cars, which is particularly important since in the absence of a weekly or monthly pass the ...

this happens multiple times a year. why don't they add gates or something that only an LRV can open? ugh.

I've read the docs for the Jack London square proposals and unless someone decide to just donate money to BART, there's no way it's getting built. You get spend a lot of money to have crappy service running (but then why spend lots of money just to get crappy service?) or you could spend boatloads o...
