Bird or Veo?

Which scooter program do you like better? I started with Bird because I thought I saw more Bird scooters around than Veo scooters, but I'm curious if anyone has a more systematic approach. I still haven't tried Veo yet.

Some factors worth considering:

  • Price
  • Availability
  • Reliability
  • Ride quality
  • Use restrictions
  • Incentives

Is it better to just get both apps and use whichever scooter is closest? Are there any major differences between Bird and Veo besides the (in my perception) relative lack of Veo scooters compared to Bird?

Lmk your thoughts!

Essex-Hudson Greenway

Hey guys, I’m getting pretty frustrated with how long it’s taking for NJ to build this bike/walk path which I believe is greatly needed. Also, the current plan is to build the path only from Newark to Kearny. Sorry but who wants to go to Kearny? It should first connect Branchbrook park to Montclair. That would allow us in Newark to go to those greener areas away from the city without a car rather than risk our lives on roads with pot holes and no shoulder. And it would also allow the runners and bikers in towns like Montclair and surrounding areas to have easy access to branchbrook park and maybe alleviate the need for car parking there. And it would benefit Newark economically a lot more.

Can we form some group and put pressure on NJ DEP to speed up the job? I’m pretty sure the bridges are okay the way they are currently to hold the weight of pedestrians.

Arc Tower Update

Just a quick update, from my trusted sources (attorney) Arc Tower is still moving forward but will officially move forward once the design changes. I don’t have many details on why it’s being redesigned but I hope it’s a good design, I hope it doesn’t add any ugly ass podium to the base. If it’s going to be taller because of the recent competition great, if it’s going to be smaller than its current height then that sucks. Lastly I really hope it doesn’t have to go through any historic board because that will suck!!!!!!

Acela from Newark Penn Station

Could someone please explain to me how to get to the Amtrak portion of Newark Penn Station and how to check in and check my bags? I have anxiety and I’ve never taken a train before. I’ll be in Newark for business then taking the Acela to Boston to visit a friend and I’m very nervous I won’t be able to find my train. I think I’d feel better if I had a general idea of what to do. Are there employees there to help point you in the right direction?

TIA

Me and my buddy are going to the Prudential Center for a concert, how does parking work?

My biggest question is do I have to prepay or can we find a place to park when we get there?

It’s been almost 13 years since I’ve been, my uncle mentioned something about seton hall having a parking garage

Anyway just wanted to know if that was a good bet.

Thanks!

Whats annoying about the Birdies/Veo?

What are the annoying reasons you can’t stand those types of electric transportation? And would you be open for a better alternative? I would love to know how much they annoy you.

For me, i hate how damaged and janky they ride sometimes.

Motorcycle accident inquiry

I was staying in Jersey City and in an Uber to Newark Airport around 915-930pm when we saw a horrific motorcycle accident on us-1 or us-9? I’m not sure which highway as I’m not local to Jersey.

Did this event make the news and did the female make it? It’s been on my mind all night

Reletting my apartment a University Center

Hey everyone!

I’m graduating this December and looking for someone to take over my lease at University Center, right on campus. Here are the details:

•	Location: University Center (On-Campus)
•	Type: 2 Bed, 2 Bath (shared space)
•	Rent: $860/month
•	Availability: Starting mid-December or as soon as I move out after graduation
•	Lease Duration: Remainder of the lease term (we can discuss the details)
•	Perks: The apartment is super clean, bright, and gets plenty of natural light. Great living environment!

This is a great option if you’re looking for on-campus accommodation or planning to move in soon! It’s super convenient for classes, close to campus amenities, and the roommates are friendly and respectful.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to DM me or drop a comment!

Thanks! 😊

These almond-flavored tarts are called queijadas. I get some whenever I go to Teixeira's on Ferry St. They resemble the more well-known pasteis de nata, but are sweeter
