From there, the couple takes a train from Rahway to Newark, a PATH train into Manhattan, and then the 1 train to Tribeca, where they both work.

So far, Brian says the commute has been fairly smooth — but it's the connections that can make or break their day.

“If there is a misconnection, if there is a cancelled train, any trouble like that, it really does produce a lot of stress because daycare closes at 6 p.m.,” Molly said.

I feel two things:

1. People who use NYC metro area transit shouldn't have to worry about missed connections. Service ought to be frequent enough it's not going to ruin your day.
2. Move to Newark?

Monmouth County Commissioner Director Tom Arnone saw those cuts coming and introduced a plan to help towns improve safety features along walking and biking routes to school by applying for grants.

"The right striping, the right signage, the right ability for municipalities and school boards to get the grants they can get," said Arnone.

Arnone says it won't solve the funding issues but will make routes to and from school safer. The grants will cover simple safety features like enhanced crosswalks and added flashing lights.

I feel like having a safe path for children to walk to school may be a prerequisite for having them walk. They're likely intending for parents to deliver their children to school.

Seven of the 10 construction contracts for the Gateway Program are complete or in progress. That includes the completed Tonnelle Avenue Bridge Project in North Bergen and early stages of new track layout and tunnel boring across North Jersey. The new tunnel is set to open in 2035 and the current one is set to be redone by 2038.

I have a NYP←→Trenton NEC 1-way expiring tomorrow. If l activate it and post the QR code, is it possible for somebody to get some use out of it? (I don't take NJ Transit often, so no idea)

Edit: ticket was successfully redeemed! :)
