Here's an example why it won't happen:New Bridge Landing rail station on the Pascack Valley Line, border of Hackensack and River Edge. Travel to NYC. PVL to Secaucus, change trains to NEC to NYP (definitely standing on this part of the trip). Fare $7.25 one way, $208 monthly. During morning peak, train runs every 15-20 minutes between 7:15 and 8:15, 45-60 minutes otherwise. Bus 165 (which stops adjacent to the train station), one-seat ride to PABT. Fare $5.50 one way, $153 monthly. During morning peak, bus runs every 5-8 minutes. The bus is notably cheaper, far more frequent, and no transfer required. There will always be those who prefer the train. But you will not get the majority of people off their bus. |
