Not Quite ‘Clever’ Enough?

While one never suffers from a lack of visible departures screens in Grand Central, I still like the idea of having my track sent to me each evening before I leave work. So I signed up for CleverCommute’s track-alert service several weeks ago. “If you want to know ‘what track is my train on’ for evening trains from Grand Central, you can sign up at our website,” says CleverCommute. “Sign up for as many as you’d like…its another great FREE service from Clever Commute.”

Alas, we’ve not received a single track alert yet. CleverCommute told me a few weeks ago they’re looking into it. Until then, I’m staring at departures screens.

Wet noodle for me. Truth be told, many many commuters are successfully using this new service. Sometimes, we have problems with the entire train…and sometimes its specific to the individual. We made good progress earlier this week…and it was my intent to circle back with you and a handful of others…but the week is getting away. Its not for lack of trying (if you don’t believe me, check this timestamp

It seems like Clever Commute has had their hands full, given NJT major delays last night. One train stuck in NP, backing up traffic, and then a power outage, wire problems, and further delays all night long. The 52 messages in my inbox this morning tells the ticker-tale.

Jerseyjim - so true. Last night was very unique. It’s especially interesting insomuch as there were problems from 7-ish until after midnight - incredible.
