There's more reason to that than lack of maneuverability up and down the levels. Wait until the darn MMC gets a hold of 'em . . . those three-day brake inspections are going to make other maintenance suffer big-time. |

At the rate they're going NJT will spend upwards of 10 billion dollars on rolling stock alone by 2020. We'll have more shiny new trains than any other system's total fleet, and absolutely nowhere to run them, in Manhattan, New Jersey or elsewhere. Meanwhile we'll have bent over backward to service the supercommuters from Princeton, High Bridge, Bay Head, Hackettstown, and points north of Suffern so they can tout catch phrases like Transit Oriented Development on their projects, all while allowing existing urban core services to atrophy under the anemic pace of their push pull trainsets. Fifteen years from now Bergen County will still be a basketcase to get around during rush hour, NJ-ARP will be holding up the Northern Branch HBLRT studies as a path forward, the Lackawanna Coalition will still be worshiping at the altar of the almighty Cutoff to add more supercommuters to the NJT mix, and NJ will have become the Mississippi of the Northeast. |

No, the "supercommuters" won't get served except by the bus. All this stuff is ARC-oriented to try and get everything out of HOB and into NYP, all while actually shrinking the capacity of all of the existing network. (And to be fair, west of Suffern is all up to Metro-North.) |

I just noticed this after I woke up. I just hope the lawsuits start to pile up from the prematurely disabled trainmen, since I don't think the other agencies that run these or similar cars require their employees to do 3 roundtrips with no breaks, like they do at NJT. |

After all of those fare increases where the fuck are they getting the money to buy new equipment? What ever happened to deferring maintenance and using older equipment to keep the service running? I guess the cost of a few one seat rides are the highest average fares in the country. |

Forget about expanding the network, eh? THE tunnel, terminal, and associated work like PORTAL moves forward, as does HBLR route 440 extension and Camden-Glassboro. However, much of the rest of NJT's expansion agenda looks to be on the back burner for the foreseeable future, at least as of now. |

Granted, I have my disagreement with THE project, especially in terms of its alignment, but at this point, it's too late to pull the plug (condemnations have already started), and something is better than nothing. allowing existing urban core services to atrophy under the anemic pace of their push pull trainsets. To what extent does NJT (commuter) rail serve urban cores, except incidentally, though? It's almost exclusively a suburban, sometimes exurban, occasionally even rural, service. Fifteen years from now Bergen County will still be a basketcase to get around during rush hour Not surprising, if you consider that the spirit of the late Mr. Warrington is now back at NJT. |

With any luck, the first few ALP45DPs will spontaneously combust (without harming any personnel, of course). I fear that nothing short of that will awaken NJT to how far off they are on the dual mode push-pull/EMU balance. |

To what extent does NJT (commuter) rail serve urban coresI'm probably speaking out of turn for Mr Dobner, but I suspect he's referring to TODs in older suburban cities like Paterson or East Orange. Even smaller scale development around places like New Brunswick, Clifton, or Linden are probably in the scope of what he's looking for. It's in contrast to a TOD at a location like Princeton Junction or High Bridge. The virtual equivalent in LIRR speak would be a TOD at New Hyde Park or Freeport. |

I suspect he's referring to TODs in older suburban cities like Paterson or East OrangeTransit-oriented "development" is counterproductive; the goal is bizarre insofar as the implications of making the intended residency dependent on the public people movers, no matter how badly the service gets degraded (and with the endless multilevels versus EMUs, the service keeps getting slower and slower). Railroads developed independently of such myopic viewpoints, and TOD fans fail to recognize that, nor do they recognize the true inherent value of rail transportation. |

THE tunnel, terminal, and associated work like PORTAL moves forward, as does HBLR route 440 extension and Camden-Glassboro The only thing I see pretty much guaranteed is THAT Tunnel (since the ALP-45DPs are so contingent on that happening), barring some catastrophic fiscal disaster, and that's a tremendously-"porkified" project. Those latter two are still in the studying phase; and as far as HBLR west of West Side Avenue goes, it was a huge mistake to completely demolish the former CNJ right of way. (Originally, the proposal was to send the light rail to Society Hill.) |

That's not how NYC developed.Actually, a sizable bit of the city's pre-1940 growth came from building apartments and homes within walking distance of some form of mass transit. The photos of the elevated lines running through empty lands which turned into highly developed areas within a few years certainly gives credit to development spurred by transit. The city still has about a 40 percent auto ownership rate. That rate would be higher if it wasn't for the public transport system and high densities. As much as we bash NYCTA, it's presence on both the rail and bus modes of transport helps to create incentive to not own a car, or for families to simply one car in lieu of two. |

That growth happened in other adjacent areas sans mass transit. That rate would be higher if it wasn't for the public transport system and high densities No, the culture changed. When I first moved to Elizabeth NJ for example, it had only the same amount of rail transit it has now, but there were far fewer automobiles. |

Actually, they can fit into GCT, and the Park Avenue Tunnel. The only thing about them is that if such type of equipment is ever ordered and run here, it would be restricted, due to the low clearance between track and undercarriage, to the 20-tracks and mid-30-tracks, and would not be run at all on the lower level. A set of C-3s from the LIRR some years back made it down the Park Avenue Tunnel and into GCT. |
