There would be a lot of versatility. positive redundancy and choice with all passengers. No project is perfect or is one-size fits all People could freely transfer from train to subway or bus, or from bus to train or subway, whichever they like.There is no cost estimate of #7 extension to SEC, but if you ask the P-B Project people, they will say in the $8 billion range, depending if there would bea North Hoboken station. That is money better spent than rebuilding a bus terminal, which itself adds no trans-Hudson capacity at all. What no one is talking about is NJT's imminent conversion of the remaining 40 foot Cruiser fleet to 45 feet. That's about 8 more seats per bus, or 17%. So slightly more ingress and egress time at crunch time. Multiply that by 500 or whatever buses per rush period, and throughput capacity in the terminal will decline on a per bus basis, especially on the pararallel bus lanes. |
