  • . Cars must be removed from service for a federally required twice-annual inspection or due to unplanned repairs to correct a problem that cannot be fixed while the car stays on the train.
  • . With our present car fleet we simply cannot provide any more cars to operate on trains.
  • . In addition, storage space for more cars is not available.
  • . On the Penn Line there is no more space in Baltimore at night to store additional cars.
  • . I don't like the single level cars.

    NJ-ARP Equipment Proposal
  • May 11, 2002 Modern Electric Multiple Units and Fleet Rehabilitation A More Cost-Effective and Operationally Efficient Method of Fleet Expansion Than Bi-Level Passenger Cars Saves $260.4 Million in Scarce Capital Funds Enhances Equipment Utilization Minimizing Operating Costs NOTE: The New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers (NJ-ARP) has discussed this proposal with New Jersey Transit.
  • . Contents: The New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers (NJ-ARP) urges New Jersey Transit (NJT) to reconsider its proposed $692.5 million acquisition of 277 bi-level passenger cars, and instead examine a $432.1 million alternative which could save the corporation $260.4 million.
  • . NJT has indicated its willingness expand passenger capacity by procuring 231 bi-level cars for systemwide use comprising 33, 495 seats for $577.5 million as well as purchasing an additional 46 such cars for the "Clocker" service incorporating 6, 670 seats for $115 million.
  • . We believe the acquisition of 150 individually powered, self-propelled, electric multiple-unit (EMU) passenger cars, the rehabilitation of 102 Comet 1 and 1B cars, the purchase of 32 MTA West-of-Hudson cars, as well as the securing of 36 Amtrak Horizon cars for "Clocker" service trains would be a more effective use of scarce capital funds, enhance rolling stock utilization, and minimize equipment operating costs.
