Rutgers urban planning student, transit nerd, does some rail/bus advocacy work. Talk to me about trains!

Three bus stops very close to each other on a map.
A large crowd of people stands between a bus and a snowbank, facing the doors of the bus. Another person is stepping off the bus.
Exterior view of Gillig rear plug door. The door leaves do not fully clear the doorway when open, though the doorway is much wider than standard inward or outward opening doors.
A stainless steel elevator call station with a single metal-ringed white button with a black up arrow. At the top of the panel is a small cutout window to a floor indicator displaying “G”. The floor indicator appears to use a roller blind or rotating drum as its mechanism.
View out the front of a bus on a highway overtaking two other buses.
Gillig (North American transit bus) in Rutgers University livery.
Uptown R62 (1) train arriving at 14th St. station.
A line with an arrow at the end of it. Next to the arrow is written “TO NEW YORK PENN SATAN”.
A drophead knuckle coupler on a BR Class 91 locomotive. The knuckle is lowered to reveal a more traditional coupling hook. Note the lower portion of a Pullman-type gangway used when the train is in buff, as a drophead-type coupler does not preform well in compression.
