Whatever the excuse, it still shows NYPS is not a major player is accessing Manhattan from NJ, and a very, very minor player in the Manhattan job market.But the impact of Midtown Direct on parallel services into Hoboken and PABT shows that passengers value a one seat rail ride into Manhattan. Commuter rail expansions provide the most viable means of growing the transit market share across the Hudson in a sustainable manner. The market share may be small for the time being due to underinvestment, but it's by far the easiest to grow given some funding. Gateway won't do much about PATH nor PABT. That remains to be seen. Passengers currently transferring at Hoboken may give up on PATH once they're provided with a one seat ride into Manhattan. And if one bus operator sued NJT for "poaching" their riders despite no new parking lots being built along the Morristown line, that would seem to indicate your premise is fundamentally unsound. |
