Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MorePATH train riders get email alerts. Subway riders get…to work late?
New Jersey Transit has just started a new email alert program for the PATH train that alerts subscribers to service disruptions. It’s a free service, and so far they have signed up over 2,700 users.
When was the last time the subway got something cool like this? Try never. The last cool thing we got was the MetroCard instead of tokens. Yeah, it’s been that long. This would be especially cool for people that carry BlackBerries and other PDA’s. We could get the alerts right on our phone.
Even regular cell phone users could get them. Did you know that you can email text alerts to yourself? If you have Verizon wireless service, you can just email yourself at vtext.com. For example, just send an email to 2125551234@vtext.com. That message will get sent to your phone! Just insert your number before the @ symbol.
Anyway, because of that, these email alerts would be great. It would definitely have helped during yesterday’s debacle. Sure, wireless service is limited underground. However, if you got the alert ahead of time, you could make alternate arrangements before you reached the subway.
We think it is time the MTA got in the game!

psh, at least mta has the stuff it has. it’s worlds better than septa. septa is garbage (oh yeah, still usin’ the tokens cuz we old skool like dat). AND septa costs more. sure, philly doesn’t have the demand for public transportation like nyc, but uh… maybe more people would take it if it weren’t a piece of shit.
anyways, damn you and your metrocards.
ReplyDesign new path trains where people can actually sit down! Every path train has a bunch of animals that charge towards seats eveytime the doors open.It’s annoying and since your raising the fare you should solve this problem!
ReplyEspecially with cell phone technology getting better and better. I guess the closest thing is like a traffic report on the radio. It would be a big help to get an alert on your mobile phone in case you need to avoid the subway.

ReplyThanks a lot for the helpful posting. It is also my belief that mesothelioma cancer has an particularly long latency time period, which means that symptoms of the disease may not emerge until eventually 30 to 50 years after the first exposure to asbestos. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common sort and has an effect on the area round the lungs, could cause shortness of breath, chest muscles pains, and a persistent coughing, which may lead to coughing up our blood.
ReplyI figured out more something totally new on this fat loss issue. One particular issue is that good nutrition is very vital while dieting. A big reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sugary foods, red meat, and whitened flour products may perhaps be necessary. Retaining wastes unwanted organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent ambitions for losing belly fat. While certain drugs quickly solve the matter, the bad side effects will not be worth it, and they also never provide more than a temporary solution. It can be a known incontrovertible fact that 95% of fad diet plans fail. Many thanks sharing your opinions on this blog.
ReplyThanks for your publication. What I want to comment on is that when you are evaluating a good on the net electronics retail outlet, look for a web page with full information on critical indicators such as the personal privacy statement, security details, any payment procedures, and other terms and policies. Constantly take time to investigate the help in addition to FAQ pieces to get a greater idea of the way the shop performs, what they are able to do for you, and how you can take full advantage of the features.
ReplyThanks for the distinct tips contributed on this site. I have noticed that many insurance carriers offer shoppers generous discount rates if they opt to insure a few cars together. A significant variety of households have got several motor vehicles these days, specifically those with old teenage young children still residing at home, along with the savings on policies may soon mount up. So it makes sense to look for a good deal.
ReplyThanks for your write-up. One other thing is individual American states have their own laws in which affect home owners, which makes it extremely tough for the our elected representatives to come up with a new set of recommendations concerning home foreclosure on house owners. The problem is that each state offers own laws which may work in a damaging manner in regards to foreclosure guidelines.
