Posted by NJT Oradell on Sat May 12 12:39:49 2012, in response to NJ Commuters skeptical about idea to bypass Port Authority's bus terminal, posted by Gold_12TH on Fri May 11 19:19:58 2012. They can't solve this with buses, you need more rail, and cancelling the rail tunnel was a monumental error. Yes, it would've cost a lot, but it will cost more in the long run now that it has been cancelled. Eventually it will have to be built, and it will only cost more to build the longer it's delayed.A regional transit pass is also necessary. Nickel and dimeing people as they transfer from system to system is not only unfair and more expensive, but it discourages people from even trying mass transit. Refusing to regulate vehicle traffic to the lower part of Manhattan is another major flaw. While confusing and annoying at start up, once people knew they couldn't take their vehicles into southern Manhattan during week days without a permit, the program would work. A permit, displayed in the window would be required to pass the check point that would be manned by police or traffic agents. Such permits could be permanent or short term depending on the vehicle's need to travel in southern Manhattan during the week. New York state, who has refused to allow NYC to implement such a ban, would make money on the sale of permits, so why they refuse to act is beyond me. |
