Commuting by method of bus from New York City this past Monday night

Etter vårt klasse på Mandag natt, jeg kjørte fort til fange bussen. Jeg ankomm akkurat tre minutter sen. Det laget all det forskjell. Jeg hatt til ventetid tre timer og femten minutter for det neste buss. Slik gjorde mange andre folk.

Update

My Professor helped me to make the paragraph sound more like how a Norwegian would say it, so I thought I'd post it:

Etter klassen vår mandag kveld, løp jeg for å nå bussen. Jeg (an)kom akkurat tre minutter forsent. Det var hele forskjellen. Jeg måtte vente i tre timer og femten minutter til neste buss. Det gjorde også mange andre mennesker.

translation: public transportation sucks?

theremin #1.1 thereminOG 2002

Not necessarily. But, that might be the closest guess we hear of.

Basically, I just wish the schedule of NJ Transit was as good as it is during the summer time, for NYC.

Are you having trouble getting into school?

theremin #1.1.1.1 thereminOG 2002

Hahah. No. I thought about putting an English translation.. but, it's more amusing this way.. having you guys guess what it says.

3 hours and fifteen minutes for the next bus.

After our class on Monday night, I ran fast to catch the bus. I arrived just three minutes late. That made all the difference. I had to wait three hours and fifteen minutes for the next bus. So did many other people.

that reminds me of when i see shows or visit people in the city. the last path train back to jersey is 1:37. most times we make it exactly on time. a couple times tho we missed it and we had to hang out until the next train comes at like 5:45 or something like that. it was sucky.

since when has the path stopped during the night? it used to go 24 hours, just only every 30 minutes during late night.

last time i rode-it still does

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

hm. maybe it's not the path i'm thinking about. we usually park at a train station in red bank or the one in linden and take the train in to the city, but the last train back to linden, whatever that is, leaves at 137. maybe it's just regular NJ Rail i'm thinkin' about.

yeah, you're thinking of NJ transit. they stop running trains out of NYC at around 1:40 on most lines.

If you're gonna go into the city for a late late night, its better to drive up to hoboken or jersey city and take the PATH in, which runs all night long, but only every 30 mins after 1:00 a.m. I think.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

this man's post should be marked informative. i did the research and he is correct.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah..taking the path would be useful so at 11:30 you aren't making a mad dash to Penn Station with a couple thousand people just let out of the RadioHead concert on Friday night

theremin thereminOG 2002

Whoa... were you there too, at the concert?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

No..I was just in the city walking around in circles.

theremin thereminOG 2002 thatdarngirl

Wish I known. After the concert, we coulda hung. There were some pals of mine, we were gonna meet with, but they had to catch a train straight away afterwards, so, we just went sadly back on the trail to home. What I mean is, if I knew you were in the area then, we coulda hooked up ...like pop into a Starbucks or something mediocre like that... you know, anything better than going to a rest area on the Turnpike, where it happens that 75% of it is shut down for business the rest of the night. We were so disappointed at ourselves for leaving the City with empty stomaches, after coming to that certain realization ...major!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 theremin

Aw that woulda been cool..but we had to get home cause my boyfriend had school early the next morning and the last train running to our stop is at 11:49 so if we missed that we were sleeping in Spanish Harlem.
