I do not want to give the Port Authority any more power than it has. I'd really like to dismantle the whole agency. In practice They answer to no one, do what they want, their fare/toll hike "hearing" process was a joke, and off-peak PATH service frequency is disgraceful. Christie lets them get away with it since he is using them as an ATM machine for the Pulaski Skyway, which is really his responsibility.Which LD trains are you referring to ? 48 does not arrive from Chicago until 6:30pm. 49 is out by 3:45pm. The practice you are referring to ended over 20 years ago. I agree the Waterfront Connection should be finished. The Gold Coast is under-served. It would not be that expensive and more RVL trains can be sent there. The existing trains are very popular. People actually transfer at Newark in the AM and wait for them at track 3. About 50% of the NJCL load gets off at Newark, but another 50% gets on, and they are pretty full into Hoboken. They should be encouraging people out of NYPS - there will be no new tunnels for at least a decade, probably longer. |
