They need to restore SEPTA service and the state of PA needs to restore the Lehigh corridor between Harrisburg to NY via Reading and Allentown.

I paided 400$ for the 6 roundtrips I did all over the NE from NYC during 20-21 yr. Amtrak priced a lot of its routes very low during covid so im not sure how you paided 400 for a roundtrip for 2 ppl on a corridor service.

It would really help with sporting events down there, maybe put the station at the other end of Pattison near Jetro lot to help split up the crowds after events

I have autopay set up for the day the bill is due and every month the bill says I have two months due. Then, the "Your autopay is scheduled" email comes out a few days later for the correct amount.

Am I missing something? Title says 17th but it looks like we’re 13th.

My non-sensationalist brain knows that, but do we need to know for sure? We have (I assume) make and color, if not year, and even one character in the license plate, or a choice of 2-3, would narrow it down

Geneva conventions say gassing enemy soldiers or civilians is illegal but you can bet your ass PPD found a way to bend the rules back in 2020.

Yeah. I think we have to get to a point where a critical mass of people are using public transportation as their primary or only form of transportation before there’s enough demand to solve these kinds of problems. We have to solve problems around cleanliness, safety and convenience system wide (so on all public transit, not just Amtrak) before we are going to get enough people using public transportation as their primary or only method of transportation. But once we get there, we’ll need to find ways for trains to transport everything cars do, from the family dog to the kids’ hockey equipment to a weeks’ worth of groceries.
And we’ll also have to be careful about how we solve these problems. I don’t want to sit next to an untrained or aggressive dog. I also don’t want someone else’s smelly hockey equipment piled up next to me. So there will have to be rules and ways of getting people to follow them.

I'm bidding for the contract. I propose to build it entirely out of douglas fur 2x4's. I can have it done in 3-4 weeks depending on the nations available supply of contractors, redbull, strippers and cocaine.

There should really be a amtrak cheap kid price to help families out! If planning a trip anytime soon check out around the 7pm slot - there's a lot of $10 tickets at that time and for a family of four that's really not bad for a weekend getaway.

this isn't a tv show brother, if you enhance a potato it's still a potato. There are ways to enhance via AI now but that's not helpful in this scenario where a computer "generating random fill in" wouldn't really help if we need to know FOR SURE what his license plate is. If that makes sense?
So no. You can't just enhance a potato video.

Lots of people probably avoid major camera-heavy state owned highways to lower risk and less footage
