Yep, if there were signs the day before, it would’ve absolutely been ok. That’s happened before. These people actually took the construction road closure sign that is used sometimes cause this road gets worked on often and closed it off themselves. But they didn’t care about the people already parked on the street or in the driveways

"be careful next time" means "you are not being fined THIS time because we feel your status as newly arrived here might have contributed to confusion over the ridiculous light rail honor system"

In Amsterdam they just put those punch machines ON the tram so you can still punch your ticket accurately if you happen to forget and they were checking... also I liked that they had a long strip you punched so you didn't have to keep buying individual tickets.

It's getting harder and harder to defend JCPD. I hear the shrug story from people all the time. You make 100k, get out of your fucking tank and do some civil service.

I haven’t had luck with any rides with Lyft in JC since the pandemic regardless of destination. Uber I can use without issue, though. it drives me nuts.

Yeah parked, locked, empty cars. Blocked the whole block. No one could leave. They were there for over an hour. Called the police but everyone left by the time they showed up.

For real? These folks just parked up in the road, locked their car and went into the church?

How is this not an immediate impound offense? That is insane - even by the standards of this very messed up driving town.

My gf tried to leave when everyone else was finally moving their cars. And one woman thought she was gonna hit her car (she was just trying pull into the line to get out cause she was already late to work waiting for them) then a bunch of the attendees came out of their cars and started yelling at us saying we’re disrespectful and that everyone could just wait for them to leave. They’ve been parked there for an hour and a half and people couldn’t leave their driveways or from the side street.

Lyft just introduced upfront pricing, we can see the pay and destination. Uber is a different story. Trips tp Bushwick are literally money losers.

I hate to be a dick, but the PATH is safe. Take a train into the city, then grab a car/yellow cab.

I live next to a funeral home and they already have half the street on one side mandated as their own parking but now they’ve petitioned for the other side of the street as well, and they’ve done this before. Even when we have enough space to have them park and us to drive around, they still parked dead center. They only moved because the street sweeper came through.

Yea, taxes are going up. They've been telling everyone for years taxes are going up. Budget for another $1k-$2k a year in property taxes for another year or two.

I have a gripe about the buses. Mostly:

-Bus routes & timetables should be posted by bus stops with a map.

-Bus fare should be posted by bus routes next to the nonexistent map which should be there.

-Buses should be free but that’s another matter

-I want a bus route map
