Nightmarish Commute for Chris Brown Concertgoers: 700 Stranded on NJ Transit Train. A chaotic scene unfolded last night as nearly 700 passengers, fresh from a high-energy Chris Brown and Usher concert in New York City, found themselves trapped on a disabled train headed back to New Jersey. The train, which was supposed to provide a comfortable ride home, broke down and left its passengers sweltering in the heat with no air conditioning or electricity. For two excruciating hours, the stranded commuters were forced to endure the sweltering summer temperatures, sparking frustration and concern about the safety and reliability of the NJ Transit system.
