If you come back at night and walk out via the south exit, it is quite ghetto and not reccomended.

Ever since McDonalds went into renovation, the average weight of riders has dropped 16%. Follow @cappability on Twitter for more lulz.

If you can't finish your food offer it to the bums who hang out in McDonalds. Stay awhile and hang out with the bums.

Don't let anyone carry your bags for you. Bums and junkies are faster then they look.

If you're not on the platform and the screen says "All Aboard" don't assume you've missed your train!

Now, If they can only do something about the battered platforms, outdated waiting rooms, prison-like toilets, and drunken vagrants hobbling about.

Never stop at the bar located in the corner of the station, it smells and is full of so many creepers.

For double Decker trains you are more likely to find free seats upstairs. People are more inclined to go downstairs as opposed to up.

Be sure to be up-to-date on your shots prior to arrival.

Transferring to the Raritan Valley line during rush hour? Don't count on any mercy from the conductors if your train is late. Run. Don't walk. Run.

Look out! They don't have any signs here. When will American train stations have signage like Europe?

Sketchy homeless people and beggars lingering about. Donate at your own risk. The liquor store is sometimes a godsend, sometimes a potential explanation of the crazy you'll see. Enjoy!

Don't complain about the homeless people; just be grateful for what you have.

Put headphones in, unless you want half a dozen crackheads begging you for drug money.

If you see "All Aboard" signs and no train on the platform, chances are, the train crew forgot to turn OFF the train's stealth mode. Do not attempt to board the train till the stealth mode is OFF.
