I just found this:
If your Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard expires, you have two years from the expiration date to transfer any remaining money to a new card. Within the first year after expiration, bring your expired card to any subway station and ask the agent to make the transfer. After that time, the expired MetroCard must be sent to MetroCard customer claims. Ask the station agent for a postage-paid Business Reply Envelope. http://www.mta.info/metrocard/problems.htm Damn I did have a card with about 10c left back in 2003.

As somebody else pointed out earlier, whenever you recharge your MTA pay-per-ride card within one month of expiration date, the system will ask you whether you want a new card with the balance transferred to it. Better yet, MTA launched Easy Pay Xpress card early this year. You can either get a monthly pass or a pay-per-ride card. If the latter, your card will be automatically re-filled with pre-specified amount, say $20 when the balance falls below some threshold, just like EZ-pass. Still, using PATH smartlink card saves you some money if you don't commute to New York everyday AND go to NYC on weekends frequently. Warning: both EasyPayXpress and SmartLink Card with auto replenishment record your detailed trip info (time and place). So if you have an affair outside your marriage, make sure you cover it up.

People lie about their commute time, esp. those who live in burbs. They always tell you the best scenario. Commute time should be frequency adjusted. If on average your trains run every 30 minutes, the commute with a best scenario of an hour can be 50% longer.
I no longer read Times articles on real estate. I'd rather read the famous forum which has a lot more useful information.

Nice website.
I randomly selected 9th St to Harrison, and found that the resulting route is not optimal: 9th St -> Hoboken -> Exchange Pl -> Harrison. Shouldn't it be 9th St -> Journal Sq -> Harrison? Do you have plan to add a forum dedicated to Northern NJ/NYC transit, or even within all tristate area? That'll be cool.

Ianmac47,
I'm with you on the machines. I'm glad I have a Smartlink card which is easy to refill so that I don't have to use an NJT ticket machine to buy PATH 20/40 ride tickets. Regarding connections, actually NEC is the most frequent line to transfer at Secaucus, much more than Main/Bergen County line and Morris/Essex line. I'm sure something happened on the day you took the train. My colleagues who took NEC to NY have the opposite rant: they prefer to take trains which bypass Secaucus and complained about the longer transfer than from what the schedule says. I used to live in Secaucus. Whenever I took a Main/Bergen County line train which arrived Secaucus a few minutes late, I saw people rushing miserably and desperately to their platform. I felt sorry for them, and decided not to move to Bergen County although it's a very nice area.

Have you guys read the article from JJ:
Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said: "It's worrisome because we should have learned from our mistakes," referring to Liberty Towers, which is one block away on Morris Street. That building also was the scene of a top-floor fire while it was under construction. That 2002 fire was on the 29th floor and the standpipe only went up to the 23rd floor. http://www.nj.com/news/jjournal/jerse ... 19191054636290.xml&coll=3

Before I moved to JC my favorite place is
S & S Auto Inc 1620 Paterson Plank Rd Secaucus, NJ 07094 (201) 601-5830 The mechanics there are very honest. I asked them to change air filter, they checked it and told me it's all right and didn't need changing (and didn't charge me for checking). My muffler got a problem last year (after I moved to JC): those bastards at Tuffy wanted to charge me over $700. I went to S & S and got it fixed for a little over $200. They price things very reasonably. There's a NJT bus #190 right in front of their store which can take you to the city or you can change to #2 at Secaucus Plaza to Journal Sq. In JC my favorite guy now is Mike at Alpha Omega in Journal Sq. You can find a lot of good reviews about him at www.cartalk.com. I got his name from a JCLister's post. He closed his shop recently for personal reasons (he'll be back later) and recommended to me his friend (I forgot the name, maybe Al?) Tonnelle Auto Repair LLC 201-963-5831 ? 505 Tonnele Ave, Jersey City,NJ Since it's not as easy to take a bus there to the city I didn't give it a try, but brought my car to S & S again this year for regular maintenance.
