So what you’re suggesting is that they were speaking to NJ-ARP and then never bothered to get a quote that says they are calling for his removal? I guess it’s possible.One of the state’s oldest commuter groups and a petition started by riders are calling for NJ Transit’s CEO to step downand state's oldest commuter groups is a hyperlink to the NJ-ARP website. Did they change the article when you read it?
The article is also posted on NJ-ARP's official facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/njarp/p ... 815072931/
I’ll just ask them.

Trains are still cancelled left and right. I've seen improvements in on-time performance, particularly in the evening rush - not withstanding signal issues near NYP or pedestrians being struck on the tracks.they cannot just grab people on the street and put them in the cab. the training course if i remember is 18 or 14 months. so yes, they will keep cancelling trains until they are sufficiently staffed to prevent that.

Trainee driving midnight train out of NYP had to have jerked us around worse than moderate turbulence on a plane. Coaches smashing into each other many times. Just a very unpleasant ride .JamesRR wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 2:13 pm As a daily rider, I can say improvements have been modest at best.

SEPTA sucked years go, but has made good progress. They're better every time I go down to Philly...
