Just a reminder to all those folks who aren’t lucky enough to have an enlightened workplace: Monday is MLK Day, and local transit is adjusting their schedules a bit. PATCO will be running trains every 10-12 minutes during the day (6AM-7PM), which is only a real change for the rush hour (usually it’s 4-5 minutes, at least in theory). SEPTA has listings for various bus routes that will be affected; the El and the Subway seem to be running as normal. NJ Transit rail lines will be running as normal, but the RiverLINE will be on a Sunday schedule, and they suggest you check your bus route to see if any changes are to be made. Amtrak Northeast Corridor will run on the normal schedule.
