Ran across this from an article posted by EuroStar about "signaling" problems:
They've gotten about 1300 signatures in 5 days, which doesn't feel like a lot to me. But I also genuinely fail to understand the impetus here — a shutdown of one of the Hudson Tunnels due to the Amtrak wire-down incident on 2/3, which NJT had zero control over? They added the signal incident to their list of grievances too, but again, one engineer running a red light is now cause for the CEO to be brought down? Huh?
I feel like I'm missing something important here, or it's 2020 and people like to be outraged about everything and think about nothing.
One of the state’s oldest commuter groups and a petition started by riders are calling for NJ Transit’s CEO to step down, blaming the agency’s leadership for a lack of substantial improvement over the last two years.https://www.nj.com/traffic/2020/02/comm ... -down.html
The New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers called for NJ Transit CEO Kevin Corbett and state Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti to resign. The commissioner is also chairwoman of NJ Transit’s board of directors.
