The Longest Express

Skipping one station stop does not make a train an Express!

Getting from point A to point B considerably faster than the typical train is an express. Why isn’t there truly an express train and why aren't there any Express trains after 8pm out of NY for the Montclair Booton Line?

How about an express train that goes straight from New York to Bloomfield or maybe a train that skips every other station stop or multiple express trains which skip every other stop with alternating stations? Why not a train like the one from Hoboken which goes directly to Bay Street?

Any train after 8pm at night should not take over forty minutes to go from New York to Montclair. Montclair is only 25 miles West of New York. Come on and be real. This is not rocket science. We need real express trains during off peak hours and we need faster overall trains during peak hours!

As for the so called Express train in the morning, it's actually a longer ride than the train before or after it. On average I'd say 3 if not 4 out of the 5 days of the week it is delayed and never in NY on time.
