I have expressed my opinion that New Jersey Transit uses a very primitive and cost ineffective method of collecting fares on the Newark Light Rail. Yesterday, I observed 6, yes you read correctly 6 fare inspectors at the Warren Street station by NJIT waiting to write summonses for fare evaders. Isn't this a waste of manpower? I can understand 2 there, one to write the summons and the other to make sure the fare evader deosn't run away. Today I observed 3 New Jersey Transit police officers at the same spot waiting to apprehend people who may be guilty of theft of service for $1.35. Aren't there better ways deploying police officers? Can't they patrol Newark Penn Station, a major public transit hub which is a potential target for terrorists? Can't they throw out the panhandlers who harass passengers? Can they patrol parking lots at train stations where women may be attacked?
Hey New Jersey Transit Police - Get Your Priorities Straight
