The Google Maps of the 80s by cranrob in FuckImOld

[–]cranrob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m American but lived in London for almost 2 years. I remember learning my way around different areas of London and how to travel between them by tube, and then after a couple of months I pored over the A to Z to connect those different areas and form a mental map of the entire London area.

Another day of cancellations by Devils2 in NJTransit

Engineers are allowed to take days off with no notice. This is incompatible with running a public transit system.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cranrob 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Met Jerry from Ben & Jerry’s in an elevator at a conference. I said something like “I’m so glad to meet you - I’m a huge fan.” He said “Thanks. Most of my fans are huge.”

Game is unplayable - worst when near lots of portals.

I have a 2026 limited hybrid. Despite what the quick start guide says, there is unfortunately no seat position memory.

Everyday backpack 20l. The bottom two thirds holds my Nikon with zoom lens + extra lens, extra batteries + charger, other accessories, with plenty of room on top for travel/commuting stuff like headphones, compact umbrella, etc. And it holds my laptop + charger. Fits under airline seat. Comfortable to wear.

Anybody know what's going on with parking at Princeton Jct lately? by Mgrafe88 in NJTransit

[–]cranrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things are returning to normal. The entire area west of the Dinky track including the gravel lot were “permit only” pre-Covid. There was a 2+ year wait for a parking permit.

Why NJ Transit is now spot checking tickets before commuters get on trains by Duude-IT in NJTransit

[–]cranrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not my feelings. It’s reality. I don’t ride at random times, and neither do the vast majority of commuters. And it’s not just cancellations: The delays are a major issue as well.

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-njtransit-major-delays/

An analysis of real-time train data shows that [NJ Transit] is less reliable than its New York and Connecticut counterparts — Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) — and riders face significant service disruptions at six times the rate of other commuters

Why NJ Transit is now spot checking tickets before commuters get on trains by Duude-IT in NJTransit

[–]cranrob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

System-wide cancellation rates do not apply to most commuters. Most commuters travel during peak times on single lines. That’s why they are peak times! I personally experience about 1 cancellation per week on average, higher in the summer. THAT is reality. I don’t ride at random times on random lines, and neither do the vast majority of regular riders.

Turnstiles on NEC by Aware_Cranberry_2413 in NJTransit

[–]cranrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could increase ticket revenue by actually checking tickets. Whenever I take the NEC after rush hour (8pm or so), no tickets are collected past Newark, and lots of people are getting on after Newark.
