That Lightrail accident killed my wifes commute last night, I wound up driving to get her after 30 mins of waiting and someone telling her it could be an hour. Of course as I rolled in to pick her up the damn thing arrived at the station.

It's the Glassboro-Camden line. I'm hoping that they do the sensible things and extend the southern terminus through my town to Millville and extend the northern terminus to Philadelphia.

I wouldnt be hopeful on huge expansion of the light rail system considering they are losing money due to the dirtbags who constantly ride it without paying. I dont know if the same issues exist on the other lines.

Its a shame because the HBLR is a nice form of transportation.

If I had no morals I swear I would go right to the same spot and fall where she did and get 7 million dollars.

They need to replace this bridge , its really starting to crumble. I like Cable Stayed design , it can be built really fast and cheaper. And the New Bridge would extend the Hudson - Bergen Light Rail to SI.
