    HSR Tunnel Proposed for Long Island Sound

    I think they would go with the cut and cover methond instead of Boring which would be slower and more expensive under the sound. As for Long Island they would only need to get to Hicksville then they could ride the LIE ROW intill Medford , the Tunnel portal on LI is near Wading River and not...

    NJT ALP-45DP first commercial service

    I guess to Hackettstown would be a waste , but at least finish up the rest of the Boonton line. As for the Kingsland Branch it was thrown into the kearny and Arlington long term plans , and pushed to NJT...honestly it wouldn't take that much for Service to Hoboken. New York is another...

    NJT ALP-45DP first commercial service

    For the price of the 45s they could have electrified the rest of the Boonton line , and Morristown line to Hackettowns....these 45s are nothing more then Boondoggles....switching from the RVL to the NEC or in most cases the PATH takes no more then 2 mins. While the Old Boonton line might never...

    Waiting for the Streetcar in NoVa

    Parts of the DC streetcar system is under construction , there are some terminus changes which have delayed the opening. The NOVA network is still in planning but gaining traction..... They keep shifting the Purple line , the red line is just about wrapped up and just needs funding.

    EZ pass for NYC subway system

    Instead of just going the easy with the smart cards there going the weird way with tap your phones... Seeing how a decent amount of Northern NJT bus and LRT riders use the PATH it be wise to develop one smart card for both systems. The PATH realizes the importance of integrated systems , so...

    EZ pass for NYC subway system

    NJT is working on a Tap card for the Buses and maybe LRT down the road , the PATCO and PATH both have tap systems and still paper tickets.... I think one day NJT ,PATH and PATCO will all have one system. Septa , MARC and DC are working on a Tap card system should be up by the end of the decade.

    Florida Governor Approves SunRail

    Because Mica gets $$$ from CSX , thus this is approved.... Look on the plus side , now when Mica tries to dismantle Amtrak due to being inefficient, we have this to throw in his face.
