A New York Mets fan is going viral for this pitch-perfect rant at New Jersey Transit over delays through Newark Penn Station that caused him to almost miss Opening Day on Monday:

Luckily he did get to the game in time, but it was chaos for much of the day on Monday:

Delays have continued into Tuesday morning:

And maybe derailments like on Monday are why Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey doesn’t trust New Jersey Transit to get actress Mindy Kaling to his date on time? Booker declared Kaling “Lyft worthy” and will send a car to get her:

? ?Thank you! PATH train is awesome when you are Jersey bound. But you are @Lyft worthy! I will send one to you for the door to door. https://t.co/hTHqqyXLZn

Maybe if Booker used New Jersey Transit for his dates, things would get better?
