I think they saw an opportunity that Amtrak has dissed both New Brunswick and Princeton Jct to get off the local tracks. NJT commuters will not use it, and occasional riders will not be impressed with their fares unless they book way ahead.

Stupid of Amtrak. I did a before / after ridership analysis 3 or 4 years ago when they cut service there 67%. They lost 32% of their loadings, and they did not re-appear at either Metropark nor Trenton. (The earlier discontinuance of the Clockers had nothing to do with it). That is one University market Amtrak doesn't give a shit about. Its Ivy League students are more apt from being out of state than Rutgers ones at New Brunswick.
