There are no suggestion boxes at NJT, and my immediate superiors listen, but either nothing is done, or it eventually gets done a couple of years after they "look into it".

Just to show how intelligent they are at NJT, train 5446 (5:32 pm departure from Raritan Monday thru Friday) used to have 2 ticket collectors (one got on at Bound Brook, the other at Roselle Park) years ago. Then the Prudential Center opened a year and a half ago, with that train being one of the two prime trains for the 7 pm Devils games. What do they do? First, they took away one of the collectors, and the remaining one got on in Westfield. Then, a few months later, they eliminated the remaining collector. As a result, many people were riding for free on Devils nights, being that the 2 crew members could not get evererybody with 5 cars open. Finally, almost a year later, they added a collector to that train who worked from Raritan all the way in to Newark. Which is still understaffed when the Devils play. They should at least add extra guys on Devils nights.

Yup, 25-30 guys are sitting at home collecting the 40 hour guarantee while this is all going on. Because NJT doesn't want to pay them the 1 hr 7 min deadhead to go to Raritan. While hundreds of fares are not being collected. Makes perfect sense.
