Commuters spoke of late trains, crowded conditions at New York Penn Station and proposed cuts in service. At a time when rail and bus ridership is increasing, reducing service is nonsensical. Fewer trains and buses will force more people to use cars, and that only will add to the congestion on the state’s equally poorly maintained roads and bridges. The governor, who has a penchant for private jets, remains clueless to the plight of low- and middle-income New Jersey residents who, one, have to show up at their day jobs five days a week — something he has not done in more than a year — and, two, do not have the financial means or friends to provide free first-class travel to their desired destinations.
