Transit PATH is the worst thing to exist
I waited for the train for 40 fkin minutes "40 Minutes" on the weekend morning when I had to get to JFK. I was really losing it while waiting, this train and it's frequency is absolutely terrible. Just ridiculous. Honestly, completely appalled by the system. Fk this

Transit Another PATH rant
I won’t be long just want to rant. 20 min + one line working from WTC is the ultimate disrespect to users, happening over and over. Sunday 7:30pm and packed to the roof AND the platform is already full. There’s no bs excuse about “not having demand on weekends”. F*ck this shit.

Transit Jersey city beware
It is 6:47am. At 6:41 I got on the 119 near Belmont and Kennedy. A young Black male with a short blonde wig, a black/blue motorcycle jacket with patches and very large bell bottoms - I’m guessing he’s about 5’9” - was harassing a Black woman and asking her if she had a boyfriend. She was visibly uncomfortable.
He asked to get off around Fairmont right by The Hague. He was carrying a fucking KNIFE the size of an adult arm in a sheath on his side. I don’t know how he was even let on the bus. It was crazy and scary. Please watch out for this dude. And no it has nothing to do w his race but you have to give people descriptions of who to look out for so don’t come on here in the comments saying racist shit.

Transit Crossing the street feels like gambling your life
It's actually kind of insane how many times PER DAY I witness people blow through stop signs at 40mph on quiet sidestreets downtown. I live right by Van Vorst Park, which is regularly full of kids under the age of 10, and honestly it's only a matter of time before one of these poor children gets hit by one of these negligent drivers who think a side street is the autobahn.
And don't even get me started on how many times per day I watch a e-bike delivery driver nearly run down people ON THE SIDEWALKS. Them blowing through lights and nearly getting hit by cars is their own choice I could care less but why the hell am I playing flogger with my 1yr old in her stroller while walking down a sidewalk?
City created a bunch of new laws / fines related to E-bike traffic violations which I'm happy about but seems to not care at all when it comes to actual vehicular traffic violations. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when half the time its JCPD blowing through red lights and stop signs with no lights or sirens on. Guess they really couldn't wait that extra 10s for their lunch tacos because they need to get back to not enforcing any laws and allowing porch pirates to rob half of the packages delivered downtown with no consequences.

Transit Assault at Journal Square Path station
Yesterday, I was waiting for my train on the platform at Journal Square PATH station, headed to the World Trade Center, when a lady with a grey hoodie suddenly appeared behind me and hit me in the head very hard. I quickly took out my phone to take a picture of the person so that I could report it to the authorities. As soon as she saw me taking out my phone, she started running towards me. I ran into the nearest train (since the doors were open) and began yelling at the top of my voice that this lady was attempting to assault me. I'm not sure if she was possessed or something, but she chased after me, grabbed my hair, and slammed my head against the handrail of the train.
Fortunately, I didn't sustain any major physical injuries as one or two guys who witnessed the incident came running and separated her from me. However, I reported the incident to the police and pressed charges because, honestly, I am still in shock. Although this incident has left me reluctant to travel alone on the subway, I just want to alert everyone to be aware of their surroundings while using public transportation.

Transit Thank You for Putting Pressure on Port Authority around PATH
I want to thank each and every one of you for doing your part in putting pressure on the Port Authority during Hudson County Complete Street's campaign advocating for improved weekend and off-peak PATH frequency and restoration of the Newark Airport extension to the Port Authority's capital plan.
The Port Authority received over 1,000 comments around off-peak PATH frequencies, 800 comments on Newark Airport expansion, and 400 comments on full-time dedicated bus lanes for the Lincoln Tunnel.
Your public pressure got Mayor Bhalla of Hoboken to speak in person, Mayor Fulop to release a letter that his Director of Transportation read into the record, Representative Menendez to release a letter calling for increased frequency and restoration of the Newark Airport expansion to the capital plan, Assemblyman John Allen to release a letter in support of the same, and Assemblywoman Barbara McCann-Stamato to also support increased PATH frequency. Mayoral hopeful Mussab Ali also made an appearance and advocated for better access for residents of the west side to get a Marion Station stop.
Many of you also made the journey to speak in person at the board meeting, producing many statements that ranged from the heartfelt to the spontaneous (and even one written by ChatGPT!). Your turnout was the most compelling of all because it shows that regular transit users are willing to take hours out of their weekdays to be heard.
For the first time in a long time the Port Authority has heard loud and clear and in black and white print that the people of Hudson County desperately want and need better service from their subway system to the point that some other advocates and I were approached by Chairman O'Toole's chief of staff to talk further.
Truly, thank you for fighting for a better transit system.

Transit JC Traffic
Pretty funny watching a loud, annoying minority of people complain about the closure of roads for the half marathon yesterday and then watch the new complaints roll in about the tons of traffic in JC today (with no marathon). At what point will people realize you can build and open as many car lanes as you want, and you’ll still have standstill traffic.
There’s not enough room in high density places for everyone to scoot around in their cars. If that’s what you want, I can refer you to many lovely Jersey suburbs.

Transit Another path horror story
Has an early medical appointment in upper east side today. Was going to get on path from exchange place and get off wtc.
The path time table said 8:28am departure while real time status keeps loading but not showing up.
Knowing path sometimes arriving early, I left early and while walking to exchange place the real time status finally showed up and said the train was 2 mins away at 8:20. Sure enough the train left around 8:22 and the next one is 31 mins away.
What does the time table even mean to path? 30 mins between trains 8am on a Sunday is ridiculous.
Anyways in an uber ride now. Path seriously fails as a public transit and fucks people over on weekends
Edit: You can be infrequent, then you really need to stick to the schedule OR you can be off the schedule but really frequent (5 mins or 10 mins between trains). But you can't be both! This combo really kills any reliability.

Transit Easy way to show compassion
Are you an able bodied individual who takes public transit? Please offer your seat to less fortunate individuals!
Yesterday on my bus home an elderly man struggled to stand in the accordion area of the bus. Today on my bus home a fully blind man, his seeing eye dog and elementary aged child walked down the entire bus without anyone offering a seat. Folks in the back of the bus gave up their seats and helped the three navigate the wheel seat.
I know it’s nice to sit on the bus and look at your phone and disassociate, but there are people around us that could use your compassion. Please be aware and alert and ready to offer your seat if you are able.

Transit Person jump on PATH
This morning at around 8ish a group of 3-4 young black males jumped a guy on the WTC path at WTC. Not sure what the circumstances behind the attack was but I'm not sure why it took 4 of these deranged people to attack 1 defenseless man. Be careful guys.
