Montclair commuters, we hear you. In this episode of The Montclair Pod, hosts Mike, Farnoosh, and Ali break down the ongoing frustrations with NJ Transit—from constant delays and cancellations to rising fares and limited weekend service. You'll hear from local resident Alexis Scigliano, who has been pushing NJ Transit for accountability, and Nick Giglia, founder of ROUTE (Restore Our Transit in Essex), a group advocating for better service. We also discuss NJ Transit's new CEO, Kris Kolluri, and his 12-point plan to improve the system—will it actually make a difference? Is Amtrak really to blame?
Plus, we highlight Clever Commute, an app created by Montclair’s Josh Crandall to help commuters navigate NJ Transit’s unpredictable nature.
