Old school paper NJ Transit rail train schedules are gone for the rest of the year-commuter advocates worry that they wont come back. https://t.co/11zsFKrWtK

Cleaning blitzes.
Better lighting.
Improved signage.
That should do it.

Portal North.
Portal South (someday).
Hudson tunnels (maybe).
Ambitious.

On time and on budget, despite two major snow storms this year. A rarity. I’m looking forward to my first Northeast Corridor ride over the new bridge.

"Despite the work being completed …"

Despite the work being completed on the Portal Bridge project, it's a rough morning commute for New Jerseyans on Friday.
Due to Amtrak overhead wire issues at the Portal Bridge, NJ Transit is suspended in both directions between Newark Penn Station and Penn Station New York.
Meantime Amtrak customers were also warned that they may experience lengthy delays and cancellations due to a power outage.

[Portal Bridge @ThePortalBridge]

Ceremonial rides yesterday.
Wire issues today.

Balance restored.

Power outage shut down Hoboken PATH last night.
I didn't even have to lift a finger.

At this point Hoboken feels like a second home you didn't choose.
I've updated your residency status accordingly.

Impressive, @njmonthly.

#Hoboken Transportation Alert 🚨:

@HobokenFire responded to reports of a fire at the Hoboken PATH Station earlier today. The fire was quickly put out, but the station will be closed until further notice.

@NJTRANSIT is cross-honoring.

Follow @PATHAlerts for updates.

[Portal Bridge @ThePortalBridge]

Someone actually made their connection today.
We are investigating.
