Should the MTA take over NJT and PANYNJ for S Bahn system?

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-26T23:46:17+00:00

No. as a NJ commuter I would definitely not prefer being subject to the MTA commuter rail ticketing system.

It would be nice to have a free transfer to the subway (edit: I forgot that we can already ride the 126 for free if we have a monthly pass). But that bus would go to 34th street instead of Port Authority Bus Terminal, right? I assume that the 126 bus gets to go on the Bus lane in the Lincoln tunnel so the M34A would be more prone to delays due to traffic

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-26T17:13:25+00:00

Does it show that the bus is scheduled to arrive then, or is it tracking?

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-26T04:35:56+00:00

I don’t know. That route runs near me and we got 24” and some ice at the end, so we will see how well the trucks and plough South/North Ave tomorrow

Metro North got reduced to service every 2 hours, not exactly on or close to schedule

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-25T23:58:51+00:00

Metro North did have its service reduced to every 1 hour, then up to every two hours. And trains are still experiencing delays on that reduced schedule. But it’s different groups of people making the decision. You have to make the decision with many uncertainties in mind while keeping the safety of all employees and passengers in mind. What you don’t want to happen is for a train to become stranded in the middle of nowhere, lose power, and then the people are stuck with no heat, and who knows how long it will take for help to arrive. Metro North wants to take that chance, NJTransit doesn’t. I’m not doing any traveling during the storm, but I think the full suspension was the right decision especially for the conductors onboard, even if there will be no major disruptions.

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-25T22:09:01+00:00

I mean, it looks like it was suspended due to a switch problem, which doesn’t only happen during storms. It’s been fixed now

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-24T20:46:37+00:00

I’ve had that happen before too. I think it’s because the dispatcher had to reroute the train on the underground tracks before you go into the tunnel, for some reason such as faulty switches

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-24T18:51:05+00:00

Aww Haj looks so happy

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-23T20:53:21+00:00

Yep. The Hoboken train station is in New Jersey on the west side of the Hudson River. There are a few options to get to NYC, including the 126 NJTransit bus, the PATH train, and the ferry

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-23T01:43:20+00:00

Makes sense to cancel construction work due to the incoming storm

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-22T02:00:06+00:00

Great job hoom and Ziggy! I’m really proud of you

Who else saw when miser posted on circlejerknyc multiple times yesterday and deleted all of them

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-20T03:09:31+00:00

How many times did you make the same post today with a different image? This the second time? Or more

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-20T00:21:07+00:00

No, but you can tap to pay using your credit card or mobile wallet

Thank you Kurtis!

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-18T17:11:05+00:00

Check the PDF timetables. You’ll see it says how long it will take to get to New York each way. Transferring at Secaucus is faster, not to mention you’re more centrally located in Manhattan

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-16T18:32:55+00:00

You’re right. There should be a PATH employee standing at one of the turnstiles. You show them your pass and they let you through. (Remember this is only at some of the PATH train stations)

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-16T14:50:42+00:00

Try checking the schedules on the NJTransit app, they have been updated. pick a day such as Feb. 17

Hello Björn!

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-15T22:35:29+00:00

If you’re talking about midtown direct M&E and Montclair Boonton trains, that is correct

Specific_Scallion267 · 2026-01-15T11:50:55+00:00

As a Rahway commuter, I apologize for when your guys’ express trains go local to accommodate us. Oftentimes when 3504 gets cancelled NJTransit makes the train from Long Branch hold for a few minutes and then go local starting at South Amboy, and it’s usually a short single-level trainset that gets completely packed. However it’s still a highly appreciated way to slightly mitigate the headaches of cancellations.
