How come none of your security at Montclair station did not inform that there not be a train to the Union Station for the last schedule for the night? It was very disrespected to your customer who hire some one not to do their job, and yet she would be more interesting on her cell phone? This old lady was criyng until a other person took me to the bus. Horrible!!!
