Lastly, 2 of those 5 active Metro-North lines are really run by NJ Transit. Are they charging Metro-North less than what it would cost for MN to run such lines itself?Good question, as, even for commuter rail, Metro North takes a huge bath on the PJL - a long line to maintain that has low ridership. And its going to cost them another $1 million to a) cut the parking fees to almost nothing and b) add that mid afternoon 'gap' train westbound to Port that people have been asking for. Right now, before the peak trains start at 4, the last train before that leaves HOB at 1:15 (1:00 connecting from PS), and then turns at Middletown instead of going all the way to Port. On Friday, MN/NJT is running an 'getaway' special out of HOB at 2:45 - one suspects this will be about the time of the new run. |
