our rail infrastructure is literally crying for help NJ Transit and Amtrak are the most important transit agency in the country imagine one financial day without nj commuters via path and nj transit

[@johnweber6612]

billions have been spent on the northeast corridor, just not well spent

[@vap0rland]

would have been nice to know the details of what _caused_ the delay... droopy wires?

[@tyrese3745]

Maybe the heatwave, perhaps?

[@Luna-co2bb]

There was a brush fire in Secaucus today

[@tyrese3745]

@@Luna-co2bb I already know that. It was a joke, although I’m not laughing. This is serious sh** here.

[@crassirus]

Chronic underfunding of a crucial and efficient transit corridor.

[@TheRailwayDrone]

Other developed countries are laughing at us. China is laughing at us. HYSTERICALLY.

[@stevenroshni1228]

Or Japan...in the 1960s money that was supposed to be used for our first high speed rail went to them because our bureaucrats couldn't decide where to put what

[@TheRailwayDrone]

@@stevenroshni1228 Our politicians are failing us and ruining this country.

[@VieleGuteFahrer]

No one cares. Non-chronically online people in other countries worry about other things. Like the delays and strikes on their own railway networks. Many infrastructure objects in China are brand-new and already crumbling.

[@lalakerspro]

Plenty of other things to laugh at China about lol. Plus extreme weather is mainly a US thing, i dont think China's would be able to hold up as well if they had our kind of weather I guess we are laughing at countries like cuba and venezuela and their transit

@@lalakerspro Extreme weather is mainly a US thing? Funny as fuck

[@xivinrah]

This is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@Marc816]

An ant could stop the politicians' toy trains

[@crassirus]

What they need is a lane widening t- no wait, that's cars, silly me.

[@KingFinnch]

@@crassirusyou can’t widen the roads into manhattan because there’s no space on the roads in manhattan; a single NY subway line moves more people per hour than the katy freeway in texas

[@ronclark9724]

@@KingFinnch Not without electricity... Bring back the diesel locomotives, at least the bureaucrats can't underfund private enterprise delivering the diesel... Of course the bureaucrats are doing their very best to TAX the hell out of trucks delivering anything into New York City... Maybe the bureaucrats should TAX citizens living and working MORE in New York City instead...

[@Luna-co2bb]

There was a brush fire

[@tyrese3745]

Thank goodness I was at the Metuchen Public Library today. I wasn’t utilizing the NJT local buses, fearing of crowded buses. No siree.

[@Bart-dg6qv]

Plenty of job opportunities in NJ. Surely you could find something with the City background experience.

[@AStewSr]

It's ignorant ass people like you that make life hard!. WTaf are you talking about? Wall Street is in Manhattan. The vast majority of fortune 500 companies are based in Manhattan. The top salaries that allow people to live in the suburbs of NJ are in Manhattan. You act like these problems in regards to public transportation do not exist in NJ. Newsflash asshole they do

[@kevinw1090]

Need to invest in some diesel engines to ferry the trains thru the lost power areas. There is nothing better than the good old reliable internal combustion engine.

[@TheLIRRFrenchie...]

They're not allowed inside Penn station unless they're dual mode (can go from diesel to electric with the 3rd rail).

[@TechJolt3d]

I don't think diesel engines are allowed to run in the tunnels under NY because the fumes have nowhere to go

[@lalakerspro]

@@TheLIRRFrenchie... ive seen p42 in penn station. They are allowed, just discouraged

[@Jesus_P]

Now yall folks see why people prefer to drive

[@CirrusGorringe]

sitting in traffic is a guaranteed daily delay? ill take my chances knowing regardless my hair's less gray

[@andrewb9302]

There are 2 tunnels and 2 bridges from nj to nyc. There is one commuter rail tunnel with 2 tracks and 2 subway tunnels with much less capacity…

[@CirrusGorringe]

@@andrewb9302 "much less capacity" LOL. ironic too the toll for those car bridges are double the price of my train ticket 😂

[@rolloman667]

We need more freeways. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@AirshipsAviation11]

Lol

[@jaylewis5035]

Rail transportation can NEVER be made to be reliable.

[@stevenroshni1228]

Japan's high speed rail has gotten it

[@vap0rland]

_Mussolini_ made the trains run on time...

[@mason9483]

In the US where we have shitty infrastructure and politicians in bed with billionaires and auto makers yes. In Europe and countries in Asia like China and Japan, rail service is incredibly reliable.

[@jermainec2462]

in America... yes ...

[@lucaswhat6486]

Our politicians don't rlly care about public transportation at all nor about any other important things that we are facing as a country. America has the potential to become a great place of transit but car companies and politicians keep rail infrastructure to a low minimum. Also if it wasn't for rail we would never have cars nor airplanes at all and other countries EVEN DEVELOPING ONES like in Dominican Republic for example have subway trains that come in on time and cleaner than most American transit systems.
