Did any amount of the $35 trillion US national debt go to the outdated infrastructure improvement or was pumped into the ~750 military bases worldwide, in view of the country's 'national interests'?
There is an infrastructure bill, and construction has started on the Gateway tunnel project
No it’s most on going towards other countries, weapons and war. It’s what brought the Roman Empire down and it will be our downfall as well.
@@Atrail_Mckinley4786 CLEARLY a drop in the bucket, C'mon don't be foolish...
You sound stupid he passed the infrastructure bill do you know what its in the bill or just complaining like a bitch
Thank you for covering these transit issues. Please keep it up. NJ commuters are desperate for this system to work better! Living in NJ and working in NYC is feeling not viable.
awful transit system
Where has all the money gone with NJT? Where? Certainly not towards maintaining ancient infrastructure or equipment. They're about to raise already high fares by 15% AND raise state sales tax to subsidize the disaster that is NJT. Why should we pay top dollar for worst in class service? And, THAT money still won't be enough. So, the question is where has all this money gone over the years? Where? Into whose pockets? Because it sure as hell hasn't gone into the system. How about a story on that?
While there are issues with NJT's infrastructure in some places most of the recent delays have been due to failures within Amtrak's jurisdiction. Unfortunately the use of Amtrak owned facilities (the tracks were once owned and operated by the PRR) has created a nightmare scenario due to Amtrak's chronic funding problems.
Just get battery-powered trains since you can't run diesel trains that are operated by NJ Transit through the tunnels. You can't rely on trains that run on overhead wires anymore.
And NJ Transit prices go up 15% on July 1, 2024! 😡
NO CONGESTION PRICING CHECK!!!!
Then how are we suppose to fund our public transit system?

Just a few days ago a brush fire in Secaucus NJ gave me Amtrak problems as I was trying to head home from Philadelphia PA to NYC. My first Amtrak was cancelled and I got swapped for free to another. That Amtrak I got put on was late and then ended up surprising me and leaving without me at the last minute and then I got swapped to another Amtrak train. I spent like 3 hours late in the evening at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station till I finally got on my Amtrak at 10:35 PM and I got home by 1 AM ish. Fortunately I had no charges at all for any of the changes even though I had a value fare ticket with Amtrak. But regardless of how my travels home from Philly went, I totally can feel everyone’s pain about all the NJT and Amtrak delays that all went on with this catenary wire infested area having problems that stall trains.
People living in jersey and Long Island y’all might as well live in a different state instead of relying on an out of state train hour train ride everyday is wild.
An hour commute by train or by car is not extraordinary. By car at rush hour can take you an hour to go ten miles.
@@e.l.norton rather rely on a personal car than a government funded bad infrastructure train
Thank God I don't work in the city and retired
An ant standing on the tracks could derail the politicians' toy trains
Sounds like NYC and NJ are doing their jobs. Squeeze money out of the people, and still claim service is reliable, and we need to keep pumping money into a system that will always be a money pit
Lesson learned…don’t live in nj if u r working in nyc
When you voted for trump and he postponed the gateway project out of spite this what you get
Imagine this happening in a 1st world country? Oh wait…
Yes bec there is no delay in train in any first world country
@@zo62 tell me what first world country has a trash infrastructure like the u.s?
@@zo62What about Germany?
I blame Biden
What does he have to do with this?
Tbf most all our presidents have been terrible for transit.
It's Trumps fault!
