M&E is:71% NYPS 4% Newark 13% Hoboken 11% Local I don't necessarily agree with the M&E analogy for other lines anyway: - M&E ridership was suppressed due to a long, painful re-electrifcation program in the 1980's, and so had room to grow - There is not much parking left on any rail line - there was no access to NYPS from the M&E prior to MDT. You sweated out PATH just to get you to Herald Square, then likely another subway ride. - Today all lines have it via transfer at Newark Penn, Newark Broad, or Secaucus, - Service to Hoboken is lousy, hence people don't use it, especially off-peak |
