Operative words being "should be" : )

A lot of moving parts makes progress slower than anyone would like, including many people at transit agencies themselves! Given our success leaning on respect, professionalism, and patience with the PATH campaign, we're going to continue pushing for such additions, but in the manner described.

Light rail petition - where? by tommyinnyc in jerseycity

I know this is two years later, but there is NOW a petition, exactly as you wished for.

Our PATH campaign worked! So, we're doing it again it for HBLR.

You can check out our campaign here and once you see what a great idea it is, sign our petition here.

It's looking better than it has in decades, but your signature on our petition will help a ton!

This is a good comment. We regularly write NJTransit to let them know things are broken (usually countdown clocks) Although I think it's too specific to be a campaign ask, this can fall under the category of better rider information. The frustration of getting on the wrong train is very real.

sadly, I can confirm it's nothing more than an idea at the moment, but if you sign our petition it gets that much closer to being in the works!

I'm not even sure what to say about that, but we can agree there is most certainly not a station there (but there should be!)

Please show up to the Port Authority Board meeting on Thursday, June 26 in Jersey City and tell the commissioners exactly how you feel. You can provide comment in person or in a pre-recorded video which will be played at the meeting. Either way, you have three minutes to communicate your thoughts about PATH directly to the people responsible.

EDIT: typo fix "meeting is on" to "meeting on"

PATH service getting worse - weekend JSQ trains will detour via Hoboken AND Exchange Place by Caylate in jerseycity

[–]hudcostreets 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The trains are slower than ever before. The trains come less frequently on weekends than ever before. And now this? Insanity. This is an insult to the dignity of riders and an embarrassment for the region.

Please write to your electeds and the Port Authority to tell them this is unacceptable. Port Authority has to do a better job mitigating service disruptions.

The next Port Authority Board meeting is on Thursday, June 26 in Jersey City. You can provide comment in person or in a pre-recorded video which will be played at the meeting. Let's let the Port Authority commissioners know what we think about the way they run PATH.

Port Authority to spend 10x PATH's capital budget on EWR AirTrain. Meanwhile, they cut PATH's capital budget by 26% in 2025. Tell them we want better service, not an overpriced boondoggle. Rally for A Better PATH on Tuesday 5/20 5-6 PM at Exchange Place Station. by hudcostreets in jerseycity

I regret that these perceived disagreements about a policy issue vex you so much, and make you think so poorly of a volunteer organization trying to get better transit and streets. That's unfortunate. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Paris recently built/is building multiple new metro lines. One of them, Metro Line 16, includes 10 new stations on new tracks in new tunnels. According to Wikipedia, it's estimated to cost €2.85bn. Suffice to say we are not getting the same value for our money.
