As the NY Times noted today after a deadly NJT crash:
New Jersey Transit has been plagued with infrastructure issues for years, but especially struggled this spring and summer to provide reliable service to customers. A spate of failures caused delays during morning and evening commutes in May and June.
I took the train in today and what was to be a 52 min ride ended up being 93 minutes. At least we got there. But there was the collapsing Penn Station, trash, construction, no exits, crowded stairways and the mess goes on. NJT could not meet a schedule if their lives depended upon it, and it seems it does. This is the classic Government employee syndrome play local. Add Amtrak on top and you have New York City becomes one of the worst cities in the world! Trash, scaffolds lasting 40+ years, threatening motor bikes and unreliable transportation. This does not include crime and corruption. And no one cares!
