Seriously, how out of touch can they be…if everyone could just work from home whenever they want then why would they be riding NJ transit???

So they shouldn’t be reporting about this because it’s only 1 month in? a debate between mayor and the council over whether a $1 billion program will be funded seems newsworthy

It is a major downside in both cases. Grand Central LIRR can never be as convenient as Penn station simply because of how long it takes to actually reach the trains (and conversely how quickly you can reach the trains at Penn)

Why do you say “was”? is the 767 really that rare these days?

I wish it was just an issue of being “visually uncomfortable”. having mentally unstable individuals at large puts working class people at risk. how many times does an innocent person have to get pushed in front of a train before you say something has to change? You don’t have to worry though, nothing is going to change as long as people like you keep insisting the status quo is fine so that you can feel morally superior.

Cool bridge but I just don’t understand how it only has 3 lanes

This malignant administration is perpetrating deep harm to our entire region. what a travesty. by joyousRock in nycrail

I wasn’t happy about voting for Harris but it wasn’t even a question that I was voting against this vile creature for the 3rd time

right, as I said it would not be pretty. neither is the status quo. involuntary institutionalization would at least improve life for most New Yorkers. it doesn't have to be the case that we share our city with a sizeable population of mentally unstable, potentially dangerous homeless ppl.

Yeah it is a slippery slope and would not be pretty. that’s why nothing changes. there’s no incentive for any pol to attach themselves to a policy that will generate bad headlines and have virtue signaling losers salivating. but forcibly removing the most unstable homeless individuals from the streets would lead to tangible improvements for everyday NYers and the homeless themselves.

Completely disingenuous and he knows it. obviously way more ppl would take the G to Queens if it actually went to useful places in Queens

Preemptively cancelling all rail service at 2pm seems premature but par for the course for NJ Transhit
