Trains should get us around the region. That one instance of someone wanting to go to long island does not mean that trains shouldn't be able to effectively take us around the metro, especially with the upcoming congestion pricing in manhattan, improved rail service is a must

Reply to comment by SadMasterpiece7019 in Turkey vultures? (According to Google Lens...) @Short Hills by JackyVeronica
Wouldn't this happen as they are flying around anyway? I've only seen them do this at our farm in the morning after they roosted for the night on our fences before they take off.

>It is important to note that turkey vultures are one of few birds that intentionally put themselves into a daily hypothermic state each night, lowering their body temperature a few degrees.

Reply to Which intersection do you despise? by Flashinglights0101
280 West at the 287 exit where Route 46 West is also merging into the same lane. Totally ridiculous to even have that ramp from 46 when you can just go another half mile up 46 and get on 80/287 at N. Beverwyck Rd.

By the time I received my card the money was in the account. The fun part is that there is no way to track if the card has been sent out yet or not.

Might help if you put at least a budget when asking for opinions. Any other important factors? Do you have children and want to know about schools? What would be too long of a commute for you?

I take 287 south to 80 east several days per week, usually around 7am, and it's never backed up. Pre-Covid that area was a nightmare, but not anymore.

In NYC? That was around 2014 when I lived there. I don't recall the name but https://www.coned.com/en/save-money/shop-for-energy-service-companies/how-to-choose-your-energy-supplier has more info. It was simpler than what I found for PSEG, that I do remember.

My wife loves the beach so we had hers at the Beach Tavern. It was really nice, but it was just family for dinner.

IDK why you are getting downvotes on this. Look I want to support public transit but for family trips taking NJ Transit train all the way makes no sense.
That said I will try to avoid driving into Manhattan if I can. My go to is to park at Secaucus junction, I think that's usually about 25 bucks. Then to just take the train from Secaucus is only a couple bucks each. So even with gas the Turnpike toll its significantly cheaper and faster then taking the train from our local station.
Even our relatives who live by stations that are only a few stops from Penn it usually faster and cheaper then just 2 train tickets.
