Wait, they're admitting they know this is a problem? It's such a pain having inaudible announcements or none at all. Is it really so hard to get on the PA for each stop? Then why not have it automated? Or an overhead sign in the car showing eta and name of next station? Ideally both.

It seems like an odd complaint to me, but it's totally possible NJ Transit moved older cars that don't have this feature from more heavily trafficked lines to lines that don't have as much traffic.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoEvery car I've been on has about a dozen characters' worth of space. It's very easy to miss a visual announcement on those - I've missed my stop a few times, though I freely acknowledge that it's due to me not paying attention.
