Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Governor Phil Murphy Says He'll Fix NJ Transit Even If It Kills Him

I refer my readers to this article from NJ.com. He even vowed not to increase fares. When I started my commute to Newark in 1992 the monthly ticket cost $70 while it was $152 when I retired in 2017. But the service got progressively worse.

For the sake of my colleagues who still ride the trains, I am glad Governor Murphy understands that there is a problem that must be solved while his predecessor just didn't care. Improvements in service will take time.
