“Those switches are some of the oldest in the system, also dating back to the 30s and 40s, and are frequent pain points,” MTA construction chief of staff Sean Fitzpatrick said during a committee meeting earlier this week. “If I can avoid taking it , I’m going to avoid it,” said Matthew Khan, 19. “I know it’s free, but it’s a lot longer, it’s more of an inconvenience.”

Mayor Eric Adams said this week that his administration plans to reduce traffic congestion by cracking down on double parking. The head of NJ Transit said he’s holding Amtrak’s “feet to the fire” to ensure last week’s brutal train delays don't plague riders all summer — even as the two agencies trade blame over some of the problems.
