No, it's you don't have a Governor who in my view was worried the MTA would screw up and it would create fodder a rival candidate would use against him in a 2020 or '24 Presidential bid. |

Yeah, you've repeated that frequently, but that does not mean it's the case. Do you think Christie's presidential chances are in any way harmed by his being in Florida in 2010 while NJ was walloped by snow? Exactly how many people do you think will remember Cuomo's decision regarding mass transit in 5 to 9 years? |

It's not that people will remember, it's that a rival candidate would use that against him in advertising.And Christie's trip to Florida during the 2010 blizzard WILL be brought up by rivals if he does run. That stuff is NOT off limits. |

No, Christie's GOP or Dem opponents would be more likely to bring up his closure of the George Washington Bridge than his presence in Florida during the 2010 blizzard. The bridge closure WAS politically motivated. |

I rode the Broad Street Subway last night. I was surprised to see that it has express service. Maybe I should have known that, but I didn't.I rode the MFL end-to-end back in June. Impressive line indeed- but it was upsetting to see all the abandoned buildings, on both elevated portions.. |

Yes, you should have known about the the Broad Street Subway express service. It is the pride of the east coast. No underground service runs faster AFAIK (though I'd have to check on Baktimore and Atlanta). |

Ride early and ride often, now that you know.The reason I'm surprised is that I extensively research a transit system before I go ride it and I assumed others do too. |
