NJ Transit, union spar over allegations, this is first time I've ever been about to use "farkakteh" in a direct quote

NJ Transit says preliminary probe found union leaders were paid $10K for not working
Union officials have pushed back, saying their leaders were willing to discuss the matter but NJ Transit investigators did not question them.

When you share your feedback with me on social or through the online form (NJTRANSIT.com/advocate), it does not sit on a shelf. I include it in my Customer Advocate dashboard so the Board sees what matters to riders.

I’ll be presenting the comments below at the CS Committee Meeting on Oct 31. 👇

What the hell is happening with NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line service today? How is there no westbound service between Metropark and Trenton from at least 11 AM to 2 PM?

This is a devastating blow for New Jersey. In a state torn between two major media markets (NYC and Philadelphia), NJPBS provides a vital service and coherent coverage on vital local affairs. The Legislature has a duty to step in and help save that coverage.
The closure of New Jersey PBS is a loss for all of us who live here. Their programming benefits all New Jerseyans young and old.

I’ll continue to stand up to the attacks on public broadcasting and support local networks in Jersey and across the country.

Four more NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line cancelations, including three crew availability cancelations, have been announced since my initial post ≈ 45 mins ago.

Not a great start to the week, NJ Transit.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.
Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

@govmurphy.bsky.social, Mr. “I’ll fix NJ Transit if it kills me,” was unable to avoid a NJ Transit engineer strike in 2025, while transit-unfriendly @ChrisChristie was able to avoid one in 2016.

Let that sink in, folks.

It’s still “during COVID”. The pandemic isn’t over just because you want it to be.
