Most people are not from that area or even Jersey City , nonetheless NJ. There’s also a large concentration of Uber drivers in that area exclusive area of what people think represents jersey city .

There is or was ( don't know now) a great door guy in the Yardley building, Union City.

It's fucking years away still. Fucking hell, years more of stupid fucking posts about this place and it won't even be open.

Joke?

How does the commute to NYC work? Bus to Newark and PATH from there?

Well with a handyman you're kinda expected to at least do the legwork of finding the product you want. They aren't interior designers. That's not a huge deal in the age of the internet. Even Home Depot has a pretty wide variety they can order for you if they don't have it there. Just speak to one of the reps in that section towards the back. I believe they do custom as well.

Any handyman job I've done in the past (things that are just too much for me given tools or whatnot), I've got what's needed (not just ordered, but have it), and I've gotten a few names from neighbors that they've used recently and gotten some quotes. Product is already on site. They just gotta install and bring whatever tools and misc needed for the job.

A contractor is going to give you a much more insane price. You've got to make it worth them being distracted from 5 figure jobs.

Contractors are all inclusive. Handyman is more… just do the labor.

Which areas of the heights would you recommend?

They aren't "afraid", it's a simple logic problem. You have 3 platforms at the terminus. You can only have 3 trains in the station. Max. That's basic physics. You can't overlap trains. Anything else has to wait in the tunnel for a slot to open up.

While a train is waiting they also block some capacity for trains to leave the station. It also means if there's a problem on that train (medical emergency, terrorism, fire etc.) there's no easy solution other than wait for a train to depart, or go through the procedure to reverse if there's no train behind it.

From a safety/security perspective, that's absolutely out of the question. Even pre-9/11 that would be wildly careless operating procedures. Trains intentionally don't leave stations in underground transit if they know there's an obstruction ahead that prevents it from reaching the next safe haven.

There's no way people will be understanding if there's a shooting or smoke conditions and the train waited several minutes because "train traffic ahead".

Adding platforms isn't easy on 6th avenue due to subway easements (remember 33rd street isn't actually on 33rd since they already moved that station once for the subway expansion), and adjacent buildings basements being on either side.

The only practical solution would be to build a new station below the existing one, but drilling below an operating station is an insane logistical nightmare as the East Side Access project has shown. NYC is build on heavy bedrock that's not easy to drill, and doing so without disturbing things above it is extremely slow and expensive. It would help if they could just shut down the line for a decade, and/or demo some buildings in the area, but nobody is going to go for that.

It's not just curve, it's also a climb and a drop. Particularly in the flying junction on the NJ side of the tunnel.

Speed control on a train is drastically impaired when a train is not level. That's because the wheels have very little grip on the track. Remember that minimal friction allows it to move so much weight with minimal power also means it doesn't have much control.

That's why track anywhere near a curve or station tends to be setup to be as flat as possible. But occasionally compromises have to be made. Less curves can only be done if the turn radius is larger, meaning more track distance, moving stations, potentially more obstacles. Even if the train runs faster, the distance can wipe away most of the time improvement.

Ping's in NYC Chinatown. You might have to call ahead and reserve the duck in advance though!

Listen to me. Go to nutley. Aromi di Napoli. Cheesecake with fresh strawberries. You will never be satisfied by another cheesecake for the rest of your life.

Are they any good? 🫣

Newport/Hoboken to Christopher takes so long I zone out and forget what I’m doing on a train. It’s like another dimension or something for 8 minutes

Oh... writing "All I want for Christmas is..." is "a tounge-in-cheek Reddit post," only when you like what follows next. Otherwise, if you don't like what follows next, it's "whining." Thanks for clearing that up. Makes perfect sense. 👌🤡

How dumb.

You’re whining about a tongue-in-cheek Reddit post.

How ironic.

Not in jersey city but there's a shop called God's of Ink in bayonne, its owned by 2 artists that are on featured on a Vh1 series called Black Ink. I've never been tattooed by either but their work online and on the show is great.

It’s such an easy commute already. I don’t mind the speed, really. What I do think we could improve is our late night and weekend schedule. Jersey City residents don’t only commute to New York during work hours Monday to Friday. That late night and weekend schedule is killer.

The tree in the tunnel is back. I’ve seen it several times in the past 2 weeks.

Try Dykes Lumber for the door itself, they've been really helpful to me with door/window stuff.

There is a factory making them in the mall!

The PATH weekend schedule is a flat out nightmare. Keep packing people into Jersey City, while they keep reducing service. There were more trains a decade ago when less people lived here.
