My rough math suggests that this will cost $200m a year more than free busses
Would be the 3rd tallest building in AC
Proposal:

We continue to move the clocks forward every spring but we stop moving the clocks back in the fall
This is a brutalist museum in Brazil. The bulk of the art is in the boring box "warehouse" in the rear, but of course thats not what you notice or remember
Inside looks fantastic. Outside looks like one of those turnpike warehouses everyone is trying to ban
You can put a nice fake window facade in front

$700m for busses sounds like a lot.
$100bn for high speed rail sounds astonishing.

But it's important to contextualize with spending on things nobody wants

I believe we're on year 12 of the Hoboken platform resiliency project
Google should launch an AI chatbox that replies "thats a common question, did you google it?"
Alternate theory: No one at NJT cares enough to notice theyre still there
In Newark they closed the ticket office (and waiting room) at Penn Station and leased a small storefront 2 blocks away for sales. But the buses still load at Penn
If the on-street permit is less than the terminal fee, why wouldnt greyhound just apply for that? If they get denied, they have a good legal case as long as philly approves competitors to use the curb
What makes them rogue though?

IE, this chinatown bus service that stops on 11th.

The only city I know of that was able to prevent curb loading was Boston. Even Megabus and Chinatown operators loaded off street. NYC and DC have curb buses even with the terminals
Lmao only 21% of sherrill voters are doing it because they like her
"Legislation to assess fees on buses for using the loading bays at the station to finance renovations and operating costs was introduced Thursday in City Council. "

Flixbus (Geyhound owner) wont pay those fees. They will continue to send buses to street curbs.

On a rainy day like today, it’s so nice to see our green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) in action around the Spring Hill project. 🌧️☔️💧
Better bad weather today than tomorrow!
If she's not going to improve transit the very least she should do is run ads about jack cutting it with his own words
I think she's going to have the Kamala problem. The urban areas that voted Baraka in the primary will stay home. She doesn't offer anything for cities
Murphy barely won re-election and Mikies campaign has been "Murphy but I'm a hip mom"

Emerson/WPIX-11 poll finds an absolute squeaker in NJ with Sherrill at 49 and Ciattarelli at 48. Dynamic of the race seems to be driven entirely by Murphy's approval rating.

This poll has Murphy's approval at 34%; 11 points under Trump at 45 -- emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-cit...
