After two big blunders, New Jersey Transit chief resigns

NEW YORK Wed Feb 19, 2014 11:04am EST
(Reuters) - New Jersey Transit's chief resigned after stumbles following the Super Bowl and Superstorm Sandy, the latest transportation official appointed by Governor Chris Christie to leave.
James Weinstein, appointed by Christie in 2010, will leave office on March 2, the agency said Wednesday. The governor's office announced his resignation on Tuesday but did not give a reason for his departure as head of the nation's third largest mass transit agency.
NJ Transit runs a rail network and buses that enable commuters to get to jobs across the state and in Philadelphia and New York.
Weinstein was heavily criticized for poor planning during the Super Bowl, in which thousands of passengers were left stranded, and Superstorm Sandy, when commuter train cars were parked in an area that was later flooded by the storm.
