Rebuilding the north shore line is much cheaper than building an entirely new tunnel into Manhattan. And the ferry from Hoboken actually has to travel south to get to Pier 11 and WFC, so you're actually traveling north to go back south. That's efficient? Reality check: It takes 35 minutes to get from midway between Linden and Elizabeth to Penn Station. From that same point to St George is less than half that distance. Let's be conservative and say it would still take 20 minutes to get from there to St George. From NYP to downtown is 10 minutes, and from St George to downtown is 25 minutes. So even with a conservative estimate, it's actually just as fast.35 mins to NYP + 10 mins subway = 45 min 20 mins to St George + 25 mins ferry = 45 min. Care to take another swing at that? |
