    Nine-month suspension coming to three HBLRT stops in Jersey City

    NJ transit has a standing policy to violate every good practice, rules, regulations, and law systematically.

    What will the LD network look like in FY 2021?

    I think the long-distance network will look like something I fondly remembered.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    Another logical assumption, also unproven, is that if the thing has attacked you previously, and it has not landed you in the hospital, it is likely that getting infected again will likely not land you in the hospital.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2018 - 1Q 2024)

    I don't disagree with you, I was just pointing out that what third rail was saying about the regulation was inaccurate. The regulation is not the specific cause of an ADA restroom per car.

    Acela 21 (Avelia Liberty) development, testing and deployment (2018 - 1Q 2024)

    Actually, I know you might know trains but you aren’t good at legalese. That law requires 1) as many handicapped spaces as cars on a train, 2) no more than two spaces in any given car, and 3) an ADA restroom in each car so equipped with such a space and a restroom. That means if You have a 10...

    I tend to suspect that with the financial bind this mess is putting the country into, you will find that this kind of belt-tightening will not be limited to Amtrak for long.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak-related Discussion

    I know you’re from Blighty, so let me tell you something; I use American public restrooms on a regular basis. Amtrak’s are not an example of particularly bad ones. I have seen much much much worse elsewhere, believe me.

    Both are highly toxic, however.

    Cheaper and equally effective for disinfecting is paper towels and a bottle of the cheapest 80 proof vodka you can find. It is barely more drinkable than rubbing alcohol, but the fumes are less toxic for you to breathe and it won’t kill someone if they accidentally drink it. The denaturing...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak Food Service Discussion

    Who cares what seat you are in on a plane? You are still flying, and if god meant man to fly, he would have been born with wings.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak Food Service Discussion

    it’s not really criminal, it’s tortious. That is to say, the crime is a breach of contract tort. They happen all the time; they are not investigated by the police; it is up to you, the injured party, to seek remedy through a law suit. That is one of the reasons this is such a litigious society...

    Your picture is either proof of what you say, or simply that a jerk used the bathroom before you. Or possibly that you threw a roll of toilet paper on the floor out of frustration at the lack of sanitary conditions. actually aside from that tp the room looks pretty clean

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak Food Service Discussion

    Their top executives are overcompensated; that is one of the reasons their profit margins, like far too many US corporations, are razor thin. Unfortunately, in our market, "standard" compensation for these types of positions have become ludicrous. The problem with that is you are essentially...

    New dining options (flex dining) effective October 1, 2019

    I wonder, could you simply eat an MRE in coach? I mean, you're better off with the boxed meals, but could you?

    Just to expand on Jishnu... it squares like a circle, because its an apple to an orange. A virus and a bacteria are totally different things. A virus needs a host in order to reproduce; a bacteria is not strictly a parasite- they can live in the human body, they can live outside the human body...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic: Amtrak Food Service Discussion

    Excuse me, but lets talk about airlines for a moment. I'd like to discuss what making money hand over fist would be; Can we agree for a moment that making at least five times the return on a US Treasury Bond on their assets, which is among the safest place to put your money, would be required? I...
