What will it take for these people to do the same for human driven cars? 5 fatalities this month in Bergen County isn’t enough, a jeep driver driving into a Planet Fitness and killing a customer isn’t enough, or what about the drunk driver that killed that hockey player and his brother..
New Jersey state legislators want to ban Waymo for at least 5 years. www.nj.com/news/2025/11...
New legislation threatens to hit the brakes on bringing driverless cars to N.J.
Disability advocates are pushing back against a New Jersey bill that would delay driverless cars in the state for five years, even as 25 other states already allow them.

English native speakers, what would be the right way of wording this long compound noun?
Transit-and-local-access-only street or transit- and local-access-only street?

From this week's state of NJ newsletter. Maybe we should ban cars from school zones instead of sending crossing guards to a war zone.

#JCcrashes We are sad to say there was a fatal crash killing a driver on Route 1 & 9 and Halleck Ave yesterday morning. Route 1 & 9 is notoriously dangerous, and there have been 4 fatalities on Route 1 in Hudson County so far this year. NJ State and NJDOT must make much needed safety improvements.

Here you go. This includes the entire Jersey City bus network.
6, 9, 80, even the 82 which is a rush hour route, seeing dramatic increases.
And the 85, 86, and 125 seeing declining ridership.

Good news, we are seeing a dramatic increase in ridership for the 9-Montgomery and the 6-Summit/Ocean.
My suspicions were correct about the 9. I’ve noticed over the past year fuller buses. Maybe that will motivate NJ Transit to run some more buses at some point.

Why is NYCDOT still funding this garbage?
Research is clear: These "please drive nicely" PSAs don't change driver behavior. They're a waste of taxpayer dollars.

The number of pedestrians killed by vehicles has increased in the U.S., with road infrastructure and inadequate safety measures among key contributing factors.

Thank you NJ Transit for saving critical bus service and we look forward to the frequency improvements. We need better connections north-south across Bayonne and Jersey City.
The lights on Broadway weren’t bright enough to keep this little bus company in business- taking it over will cost more than $1 million

Here are some other things I saw yesterday:
Driver driving the wrong way in the JSQ bus station
Multiple drivers on Pavonia driving the wrong way to get around the cars in front of them
Driver sitting at a stop light, then just decided to drive through the intersection, turning left onto a one-way
