New Jersey Transit expressed frustration with this week’s commuter rail-service disruptions, calling them “unacceptable” and promising to press for a solution.
“We’ve contacted Amtrak at highest levels,” New Jersey Transit posted on its official Twitter account Wednesday, after a third straight day of delays. Amtrak, the national railroad that owns the malfunctioning infrastructure that New Jersey Transit blamed for the snarls, apologized to commuters and is fixing the issues, said spokesman Craig Schulz.
