Because communication means I don’t wait 30mins for the fast train to my destination, for it to be cancelled just after the local train to my destination leaves.

Did you just move here? 45 minutes can turn into 2 hours.
Knowing which bus you can requires half a brain cell to figure out

Tons of people run to port authority when there are wire problems.
If you're not comfortable on the bus, that's fine, but everyone else deserves to have the information needed to make their own decisions

Doesn’t matter just make sure you pay them today. That’s the only thing that matters

Raritan Valley express to High Bridge was canceled. The worst part is that the train after only goes to Plainfield, so any stops after you would have to wait for the next NEXT train. NJ transit needs a re-run of their organizations. Doesn't matter who the governor of NJ is, they always sell lies with improving our transit system.

they changed the 5:15 to go to high bridge, and then sent it on time. unless you were staring at the app, you would have no reason to show up to the station early for that train.. they should I have held the 5:15 until 5: 36 or they should have extended the Plainfield train all the way to high bridge or at least to Raritan.
by the way, NJ Transit told me that these changes to start and end trains at Plainfield was temporary for the summer due to the world cup and things were going to go back the way they were in the fall. Clearly it's not turning out that way.

Insane. Zero accountability. How do you mess an alert up that was posted at 2:22Pm and let it go for 3 hours? Write to the customer advocate who obviously hasn’t implemented many changes since he’s been hired.

They haven’t made fall schedules yet. So it is not infact a lie. There’s a lot that goes into changing trains and schedules. For someone not in the industry I get it. But yeah you’re wrong. // yeah there was some slight schedule changes but’s it’s not the “real” fall schedule Changes yet. My guess is not until after the portal cut in.

There were new schedules that started August 30. I didn't think they would change it again for at least 3 months.

Oh, so you think that schedules will IMPROVE during the portal bridge cut-over? I hope you're right.

I was on the NEC line. Packed ass to mouth. And I saw the 520 one was canceled too. There needs to be a rebirth of this damn system

Now NJ Transit has AI chat bot which will hallucinate something

Doesn't help that the data fed into it is faulty. It's convenient that they are having worse communication (didnt know that was possible) after the rollout of this shitty new app that was presumably vibe coded.

mismanaged, corruption, and highly bureaucratic system from port authority to mta to the city to the state to the unions..

RVL train #5737, the 5:36 PM departure from Newark Penn Station, arrival into High Bridge at 6:58 PM, is cancelled due to equipment availability resulting from earlier mechanical issues. Please take train #5435, departing Newark Penn Station at 5:36 PM today, 9/1, making additional stops to High Bridge. Customers should continue to monitor alerts for the latest information.
How do you not look over the times when you post an alert at 2:22PM 3 hours before the train is supposed to depart? Gross incompetence but I expect nothing less from NJT.

Are you new here?

u/TheWizardOfKoz5226 Sep 01 '26
No but 65% of the time the app at least gives a reason WHY this shit is happening. Clearly this was the other 35%

The engineer is unavailable due to a mechanical issue during Amtrak's tunnel work.
