Without capital funding, more NJT trains break down than Metro North & LIRR

[mfs NJT459]

According to Bloomberg: there were 179 NJT breakdowns, 90 for LIRR, and 139 for MNR in 2013.

So while Cuomo has made announcements in investing in new  projects like a 3rd track on the LIRR, a new Penn Station, and MNR stations in the Bronx that could lead into Penn Station, Christie has done nothing for NJ other than move money from the capital budget to the operating budget, and not alot of money was spent on preventative maintenance on NJT trains, not to mention Christie cancelling the Arc Tunnel

To be fair, the cancelling of the ARC tunnel now seems to have been a political move to get the federal gov't to pony up more money for the tunnels. I honestly believe that Christie would not have allowed the project to completely die.

To much the use of NJT rail is more a bargain than the buses

 

Ok that rails use zoned fares but buses c'mon tthat's abusive especially on local bus routes

 

Say no to zoned bus fares...say yes to flat rates tariffs
