@CTRailCommuters @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCouncil @connpost Standing room only once again. Peak prices - no fast trains - over 400$/month (x2) for the privilege to stand(!!) - everyday, all evening trains to New Haven the same. #MTA #NewHavenLine

@olbluys @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCouncil @connpost What train was this crowded? Leaving from where, when?

@MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCommuters @CTRailCouncil peak fares are back in place with overcrowding & no express trains!! The app isn’t accurate-not that it matters this is standard for the NH line. #MTA

@CTRailCommuters @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCouncil @connpost Harlem 125 last Thursday to New Haven. Today I am on the 5:56 pm and had to walk to another door - people with luggage standing and blocking people from entering. This craziness is all of the time. The app is never accurate!!

@CTRailCommuters @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCouncil This should have been rolled out with the peak fares!!! I ride everyday - someone from MTA should try riding the evening NH line every evening! It’s not one train it’s not one day!! If it’s a holiday travelers with luggage are in the aisles-conductors can’t get through #notsafe

@olbluys @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @CTRailCouncil More trains, including some expresses, are coming 3/27

Finally... MTA does the right thing> What changed their mind? new.mta.info/press-release/…

When will the MTA take things seriously?! @MTA @GovNedLamont @rosadelauro @shorelineeast @CTRailCouncil TSA to double minimum fines for travelers who refuse to wear masks to $500 - CNBC apple.news/ATECa322DRyClF…

@CTRailCommuters @MTA @MetroNorth @rosadelauro what can you do to help the commuters? Metro North talks the talk but won’t back it up or walk the walk. Please review Masking issues on the trains from New Haven lines!

@CTRailCommuters @MTA @MetroNorth It would seem Social Media is the only recourse for passengers. #CovidIsNotOver

Will ⁦@MTA⁩ & ⁦@MetroNorth⁩ follow this new directive? washingtonpost.com/transportation…

The MTA wants to hear from YOU! 📝 Sign up to take a survey about riding the New Haven Line (Metro-North) during COVID-19, and you could win $100! new.mta.info/mta-customers-…

@bsherak @MetroNorth @Latish1 @CTRailCommuters

@MetroNorth @Latish1 There are NO Express Trains anywhere in CT and Westchester. It's horrible.

Hey @MetroNorth curious as to why my morning commute options from Ossining went from 50 minutes to 1 hour six minutes???? #CommutingIsHardEnough

@Latish1 @MetroNorth @CTRailCommuters

@MetroNorth Whereas I appreciate the prompt reply, the fact that there is not ONE express or semi-express is a bit disconcerting. It seems like a no brainer that folks like me will end up working remotely rather than sit on a train that literally makes every stop.

@jtpags12 @MetroNorth @Latish1 @CTRailCommuters

@MetroNorth @Latish1 You have more trains but have extended the amount of time on them. No options less than 91 minutes from Fairfield Metro Do better please

Anyone notice a pattern here?

@jsinijr @CTRailCommuters @MetroNorth In darker days people sat 1 to a seat, every other seat - with the need for people to work there are more people-people are sitting 2 to a seat even on narrow side & standing. I’m not telling people how to do their job but asking to do it. It’s a federal mandate #CovidIsNotOver

@olbluys @CTRailCommuters @MetroNorth So you would like the conductors to walk the aisles the entire trip?

Not a suggestion or recommendation. It’s a federal rule with stiff penalties for non-compliance washingtonpost.com/transportation…

@jsinijr @CTRailCommuters @MetroNorth When passengers feel the conductors don’t wear appropriately, don’t enforce or walk through once maybe twice during 1.5 hours on a train then they pull it off/down. I see people who put them up when the conductor comes & down before/after. There needs to a consistent expectation.

@jsinijr @CTRailCommuters @MetroNorth I also worked throughout COVID. I respect your words & appreciate those who do make the effort, wear their masks, & do not want a train delay either. BUT this isn’t representative everyone. The conductors in my pictures punched tickets without asking. Another solution is needed.
