Does anyone know what the status of the state contribution to Gateway tunnel is? It is great that federal porti8on has been committed, but don't NY and NJ still have to contribute close to 50% of the cost? I have not read or heard that this was done...

I am really confused as to why we need an absolutely beautiful Penn Station now. We have a Moynihan station that has recently opened that services LIRR and Amtrak. It is a big, airy, attractive building although I would personally would've preferred a European style train hall. I would've loved to s...

Any news on the requested railroad extension? Is there any other work happening on the railroad other then running trains? Not that running trains is not important of course...

It would be great to see an update...

"after he was ordered to operate a locomotive with a broken air conditioner on July 21, 2020. " It is puzzling to me why he was ordered to operate a train despite the heat. The trains were running pretty much empty in July of 2020 and it is not like NJT never cancels the trains. I don't un...

On the days that I go to the office, that are usually Tuesday or Thursday, NJ Transit BC line trains during rush hour are probably running at about 75% of the 2019 levels. I understand that this presents a problem from the transit revenue point of view. But from passenger experience point of view, t...

Lots of companies still offer (IRS allowed) pre tax payment of parking expense. Given how high commuter tickets are, plus subway, this may be a great deal for some people. I am not so sure. If you add up parking costs, bridge & tunnel tolls, high gas prices, wear and tear on the car, especially...

https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edit-gateway-20220529-j2goqkwkyfhopky3khrnqpfgam-story.html Absolute nonsense and lies. The part of Gateway that everyone is focusing on are the two new tunnels. And that is 14 billion dollars, not 35!!!! And they are still urgently needed as the old ones are ...

One thing I've noticed with a lot of the people that have returned to office is they are only going into the office a couple days per week, and often for only half a day. Never heard of anyone going to the office for half a day . Usually 2 -3 times a week full days. The only caveat is that if someo...

I guess I don't share this board's dislike of Cuomo. He might've been an ambitious politician with limited interest in public transportation. But he got a lot of projects started and built. Which is a great accomplishment in the NYC metro area and in America as well, with the declining federal inves...

Well, folks, here is the text of the bill. At 2,702 pages, it’s perfect, light beach reading. https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/e/a/ea1eb2e4-56bd-45f1-a260-9d6ee951bc96/F8A7C77D69BE09151F210EB4DFE872CD.edw21a09.pdf I’m still combing through it. Here are some preliminary observations: 1...

So any idea how quickly this money from the federal government will be released? Any idea if he final design for the bridge is done? How many years will it take to actually start construction?

Work on filling the canal might finally begin soon. The first item in the monthly board meeting this Wednesday is approval of award of the Phase 1 contract to extend the Jersey City Sewer and fill the canal. It is amazing that it took 7 years since Sandy to finally get this close to construction, b...

And with the on-time accuracy of 40 % and average speeds of 60 mph

I am quite disappointed that they separated the project into two phases. That will add at least an year, but in all likelihood two plus years to the whole project. They are receiving bids on extending the Jersey City sewer and filling the canal until July. One can only hope that the selection will ...

Maybe during this process they'll take advantage of those funds and put in the minimal effort required to make the higher numbered platforms at Hoboken Terminal not look like Aleppo. Probably not though. All platforms in Hoboken and the whole area outside of the terminal building have this unkempt,...
