Things I Don’t Understand About NJ Transit
There are some things about NJ Transit trains that puzzle me. What exactly does that hole puncher do and why do the conductors have to squeeze it so many times for each passenger's ticket? I worry that they may get Carpel Tunnel Syndrome! Is all that punching really necessary in these days of computer and smart phone technology? Why do they then stick a piece of paper in the slot in front of each seat? What exactly does that indicate? I understand why they would offer seating for families and friends who want to stay together, but why isn't there any legroom between those two rows of seats that face each other?
