> There were times where my ticket was stamped but they still take it.

Yes thats how it works.

>NJT can have all the rules they want for the light rail but it’s up to the enforcement to enforce those rules.

So its legal to kill people as long as you dont get caught?

You live in a society. Stop committing crimes.

Thats not how it works. You are required to activate it before you ride. Having an unactivated ticket means nothing.

It is a proof of payment system which means you are expected to pay every time (activate the ticket) and only rare prove you did so (and get fined if you didnt).

https://www.njtransit.com/tickets/light-rail-tickets

>Newark light rail system operates as a "proof-of-payment" fare collection system. This policy requires that you have a time-stamped ticket prior to boarding a light rail car and retain your ticket until you leave the station area at your final destination. Under the proof-of-payment fare collection, tickets will not be collected. Passengers should be prepared to show a time-stamped ticket or a monthly pass to a Fare Enforcement Officer if requested. If you do not have a stamped ticket, you will be subject to fines up to $100.

I guess they all run the many failed restaurants in newark lol.

Didnt realize "its hard to success in the food business, dont immediate scare customers away" is such a scary message for this crowd

Ive seen like 6 100% meat soul food restaurants open and close downtown in the last 3 years.

> Well, it’s named “mad for chicken” …

And the website prominently features vegan chicken options.

>But the truffle fries are really good, and the dumplings were spinach and cheese.

If they intend to open a restaurant of such a large size, in such a prominent location (aka high rent), maybe they should think a little longer about the market theyre serving. You simply cannot have zero (0) vegetarian entress.

If a party of 6 wants to get dinner before an event at the Pru, and just one of them is vegetarian...the entire party will have to go elsewhere.

Temporary for 5-10 years. The new airtrain was supposed to open in 2021, they havent even started prelim construction.

And once its built, it will be convenient to Terminal A...but completely miss Terminal B.

> I would be entering the airport via air train and would then find a bus at a terminal.

Airtrain is really shit after 10pm. Single tracking, every 15 minutes.

>This is a really big issue. I assumed they would have transportation lined up // connected

Your port authority dollars in action

>The 62 goes to the Airport right? So I could technically take the 62 to Terminal C, and then catch a 107 or 37 to my house

Yes. I would double check that the 1 (Ivy Hill) or the 25 (Irvington) work for you, as they also run late and run from Penn.

One last time, or youre being reported for spreading misinformation

>7-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $32 to $33 >7-Day Express Bus Plus Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $59.50 to $62.00 >30-Day and Calendar Monthly Unlimited Ride MetroCard: Increase from $121 to $127

That is ON TOP of the 2017 increase

>The cost of a weekly MetroCard will now be $32 instead of $31. Monthly cards will go from $116.50 to $121. And the pay-per-ride bonus on purchases of $5.50 or more will go from 11% down to 5%.

>Express bus fares remain at $6.50, but the 7-day Express Bus Plus Metro Card will go up from $57.25 to $59.50.

It went up in 2019. Stop lying.

>The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board voted on February 27, 2019 to increase fares and tolls. The new tolls take effect March 31, 2019 and the new fares take effect April 21, 2019. Highlights from the MTA fare proposal are below. https://www.benefitresource.com/blog/mta-fare-increases-as-of-february-2019/

> A. Buses don't run from Penn after 12:30

The 62 runs 24/7

>Newark Penn-Airport is a nicer experience than Raymond Boulevard Bus Lanes

There are no buses at the airport train station, you cannot access the street

>The new Terminal A is about to open up in the airport and it would be really cool to be able to commute through there every day

The new terminal will be a 15 minute walk from the airtrain, which in turn is 12 minutes for the airport train station

Reply to Apple Will Open A New Store In The Big American Dream Mall (Except on Sundays)! by L0v3_1s_War

'New Jersey Local News" is the name of the website, but this article was clearly written by a game boy advance running an AI script from Pakistan

>This is because, in New Jersey, it is against the law for shopping centers to be open on Sundays. People will always be able to go to the new store from Monday to Saturday, but because of the country’s laws, the company will have to close it every Sunday.
