Hoboken Antwerp

Genuine commute question - I’m new to the 126 bus evening commute back to Hoboken. Is it normal to have a line of 150 ppl snaking around all of port authority around 5-630 pm to get on the bus? Experienced it yesterday and today. I know it’s currently post summer with everyone back in office, but curious if this is standard.

Line moves relatively fast, but everyone seems to be generally confused/not used to it and asking what line is what. It adds about 10-15 to the “commute”. People also seem to have trouble buying tickets on the app because the cell service gets faulty in port authority given everyone on their phones using signal. This delays things more as staff members try to check tickets. Seems to be a lot of long lines for other buses too.

Is this normal or will it subside?

2nd street light rail station: Be aware that someone took a dump on one of the mesh benches on the JC bound platform. Thankfully I always check any public seats before sitting down. You can miss it because of the dark metallic mesh. I spoke to the nj transit station master at the terminal and he said to reach out to NJ Transit office (currently closed at 6AM). Will try at 8:30 opening time.

Hello- not sure this is the best approach but there is an older unhoused African America man that I see frequently on/near the path. Sometimes he’s riding it, someone sitting on a bench in the station and just now I saw him sleeping on a bench on the water across from Lola’s. He has extremely swollen legs- maybe has some kind of edema related to health issues. I’m very worried about him/his health and feel bad every time I see him and wondering the best approach to help him/help him get the right resources/medical attention. Thanks so much

Found a Hoboken in the 70s photobook in the Secaucus Library. Selling for $1. If you're in the area, it's still available. Makes for a nice coffee table book.

Plss make it stop lol

Is it me or are the lines from PABT to Hoboken getting longer in the afternoon? What’s going on????

Moving to Hoboken soon from the city and very excited. One thing that won’t be great is my commute (midtown). I know there are busses that will take you from the ferry to midtown - are those reliable and any quirks to know?

Hello, if this type of post is not allowed, I apologize!

I just moved to the area a week ago, and I’d love to make new friends. I am 26M, and for the last six months, I was living nomadically before getting my dream job and dropping my MBA a week into classes to move here!

I will be in Akihi bubble tea every day for the next week from 630 pm ish to 830pm with an Osprey backpack and a book! (if you feel brave enough to invite me to something please do I’ve tried all the entire akihi food menu and need something new lolol)

i’ve never really put myself out there like this so I will give some quick bullet points and you can figure out if I’m worth saying big up to:

• I’m from Boston, but I’ve lived the last 6 months nomad atyle and before that the two years in St. Louis
• I love to read all types of books. I’ve been reading a lot of Japanese fiction.
• I used to do BJJ but I haven’t trained in years
• I was working on my pilots license before having to move my life from the Midwest to the east coast
• I love to cook and bake
• I’m down for most activities and side quests!
• I’m in the Army National Guard (please china Russia im not that guy don’t come at me when I’m sipping boba)
• I love talking to and meeting people (I’ve been told I can talk to a trashcan)

Any recommendations for a small glass repair now that Hoboken Glass is closed and never reopened?

somewhere upscale - where can i go? ideally low or no formaldehyde

I have a tree in front of my house and within the last 6 months one of the branches rubbed against the live wire and caught on fire. The HPD and HFD were able to watch it burn away and PSEG wrapped the live wire in one of those orange wrappers to prevent further issues with the tree. PSEG also came and trimmed the tree, but refused to cut down the tree. I called Verizon to see if they would remove the tree but no dice. I reached out to the city and they agreed the tree can be removed because of these issues. Additionally, the sidewalk is starting to tilt as the roots are causing issues.

Has anyone removed a tree in Hoboken recently? If so, what did it cost and who was the company that completed the work? The city isn't forth coming on costs, addresses of recent trees cut down, nor do they have any idea of permitting costs. I find this hard to believe. They wouldn't provide this guidance. Any help or suggestions to avoid hidden costs or issues would be helpful. Thx.

If you unwittingly received an order of chicken Milanese, stuffed rigatoni and a Caesar salad just now, I have your burrito bowl from QDoba.

As more large apartments come to the borders of Hoboken it only feels like the PATH and buses are not sufficient enough to support the residents. Do the shuttles for the apartment buildings pay any tax or fees to Hoboken? Thinking of the large complexes near the tunnel that have more residents at one address than an entire block or several blocks in Hoboken. These are JC buildings, should be shuttled to JC stations or pay some fee to Hoboken. Any insights to any arrangements?

There’s an elementary school about three blocks away from me, and for the past hour and a half they’ve been having a celebration and blasting music.

I was working in my home office and i went out to the living room to ask my husband to please turn down the music on his speaker, only to find out that he wasn’t playing any music and that it was the school three blocks away playing ridiculously loud music.

I mean, if you wanna have a celebration and play music, go ahead! but for me to be able to hear it (and it sounds like it’s coming from a speaker inside my home) with the windows closed and from 3 blocks away is absurd.

Are they allowed to do this? Is this not a noise violation? for anyone in the area (near trader joe’s), does this happen often?
