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.

  • New Jersey Transit's River LINE reached a grim milestone on Friday when it experienced its first fatal accident in its short history. A 50-year-old man, who was coming from a bar, was struck and killed when he returned to the tracks after the crossing barriers went down and he didn't respond to the train horn. Btw, that's a pretty questionable headline from the Trentonian there. (Via Jason)
  • When you go to New York or Princeton, are you tired of taking the R7 to Trenton? Do you find the schedule isn’t always convenient or the train gets so delayed you miss the New Jersey Transit train? If you don’t want to risk life and limb on a Chinatown bus, there is another option that is much cheaper and runs more frequently, but the downside is that you have to go to Camden.
