It seems over the pandemic people lost there common sense.. Someone hiring up on the crime task force in Newark said that a lot of the cars ending up in Newark were stolen while people left them running while they went into a store or restaurant to buy something...then there was wave of thefts last year in a small town on LI and it turns out most of the cars were unlocked , had the key fobs or keys left in them....I really don't understand it..

Its a shame what Hogan did to the Red Line and the MARC System upgrades that he shelved... I'm hoping that the New admin reverses that trend and gives Baltimore a proper transit expansion and breaks ground on the New Baltimore tunnels along the various long bridges that need to be replaced between Baltimore and Wilmington...

I believe Massachusetts is planning to have one train per day up to Quebec via Springfield & Vermonter route in addition to the proposed Amtrak Montrealer restoration. Ideally the state should fund and build the Electric option for the SPG-BOS East-West portion and then split Amtrak Regional with half the departures going via the Shoreline route and half going via the Inland route. The ALB-SPG segment should dump Pittsfield and offer a bus connection at Lee and continue on the I-90 ROW to the Hudson Line and connect into into the Proposed Empire Higher Speed line. I saw there was also 2 separate studies on routing a few intercity style trains along the Fitchberg line continuing onto Greenfield and North Adams and a VDOT proposal that adds another Ethan Allen Service to Boston via North Adams/Springfield.

You live in the Inner core of this region so its worse then say if a person lives on the edge of Central Jersey or PA...most buses in these areas make a few stops and then express...they also get use HOV lanes or bus lanes...so that reduces the commute stress... The one downside to this route is in the summer it gets very crowded with beach goers..
