You know, the more I read about the absolute greed and graft of the government, be it local, state, or federal, the more libertarianism starts to make sense. They might be onto something.

The government steals billions of dollars from us every year and yet we never see an improvement in the quality of life for us working class people. I’ve been using NJ Transit and Port Authority services for almost a decade; using NJ Transit buses to go to and from work in NYC. Tolls have gone up and bus tickets have all gone up in prices too. And yet there’s nothing to show for it. Same shitty tunnel and bridge crossings, buses have actually gotten worse in terms of delays or straight up not showing up, same awful traffic situations. Like…where’s the supposedly “better service” they told us they were going to spend our money on?

Be careful what you wish for. There is not a single country in history that thrived as a libertarian country.

NJT is in a bind here , the PA should give them a discount on tolls until the new terminal is built. And the bus lane should also operate in the afternoons which would reduce delays...
