    Pickpockets are an urban legend... most people lose their wallets. 99% of the food/drink vendors offer overpriced low grade food, go outside and you'll be served much better.

    Catch NJ transit, lack of a waiting area and lack of good food

    Consolidate bags to make it easier to get to your train. Also? Avoid overpriced goods & drinks by simply bringing your own.

    Blame Amtrak for NJ Transit delays. They own the rails. They have the right of way.

    Use the Acela Lounge if you have a first class ticket or Select Plus status. Much more civilized place to wait, especially if your train is delayed.

    I will kick you in the face if you kick my pull-along luggage. Just because you have to live in Jersey/never vacation doesn't mean you have the right to be a prick to travelers that need suitcases.

    This underground station with not a single spot with decent food or coffee is the worst. At least the re-vamp continues.

    If you get the FREE red cap service you can go down to the train early. Plus they carry your luggage :)

    Scout out an NJTransit ticketing machine early, because they seem to avoid you when you need a ticket most desperately.

    If you are taking the Acela you don't have to wait upstairs. Go down and look at the monitors on the lower level.

    Avoid the over priced fast food in the station and grab a gyro or hot dog from a street cart just outside.
