Would have rathered that NJT went with FRA DMU for the "River Line". That, for all its bad looks, demonstrates why.Why? So we too could know the joy of a train which operates for a total of five hours a day? So we could have a train with an average speed exactly the same as what NJT built, despite having less than half the number of stations on a per mile basis? So we could have ridership which is nearly an eighth that of what we have now? So we could have NJT have to buy out the vehicle supplier in order to guarantee they actually get the vehicles they've contracted for? So we could operate a commuter rail line so wildly expensive it can never hope to even achieve a positive return on investment even when abstract elements such as improvement in the quality of life are factored in? There is ZERO improvement over the Riverline offered to the passenger by emulating a failing service like Westside Express, yet because you foam over one design versus another you expect us to take your pining for an inferior alternative seriously? |
