Reply to comment by [deleted] in Why do BSL express trains not hold for an extra 5 seconds so the local passengers can transfer by RoughRhinos

Transferring from PATCO to the Riverline is a goddamn nightmare.

Congratulations! You are now stuck in one of the shittiest parts of Camden for a full fucking hour. There are no benches and there is nowhere else to go.

Sorry that happened to you. And people wonder why others don’t want to use public transportation.

PATCO and the Riverline are fine on weekdays during peak hours. PATCO is five minutes or less, Riverline is every 15 and sometimes a double train.

On the weekends, you can take just PATCO or just the Riverline, and you'll do okay.

But if you need to take both...yeah you're gonna kick a lot of rocks at WRTC.

Haven't had to do the old Walter Rand transfer since my then boyfriend lived in Cinnaminson 8+ years ago and I was cruising the Riverline often but god I do not miss it. Makes Septa look good by comparison.

Every time I go back through WRTC, it has been worse. 5-6 years ago there were benches and people would sleep in front of the exhaust vents for the west headhouse.

They have just been slowly removing more stuff and putting barriers around everything to make it suck even more. It's the single most hostile place I've been to.

The riverline is controlled by giants fans, they only care about the Newark and jersey city light rails…riverline is basically Cinderella
