Yesterday I arrived at the Newark Light Rail stop at Penn Station at 7:55. There were already many people on the platform which seemed unusual for the summer. I waited and waited and no trains came. I decided to walk to NJIT which is about a mile away. It took about 20 minutes, but it was uphill. At least it gave me my daily exercise. At 8:32 AM after I arrived at work I received an e-mail stating that due to a stalled train there was delay on the light rail.
Since New Jersey Transit uses a 19th century method of fare collection why can’t someone come down to the platform and verbally announce a delay? Where are the fare inspectors when you need them?
