Oh, please stop with this one seat ride crap. This is not Philadelphia. There is no such thing. If you want a one seat ride, drive to a parking deck on Madison Avenue. You forgot the subway transfers.The Raritan Line had grown 80% between 1992 and 2008, and they did nothing about a one seat ride. The M&E merely recovered from the huge losses of early 80's re-electrification, and Lakeland and Community Coach, with their free buses purchased by NJT, went kicking and screaming. The M&E is 1/3 of the North River tunnel traffic, so about 1% of the Manhattan job market. It is still irrelevant. NOBODY heading to lower Manhattan will stop going to Hoboken and PATH and instead go to NYPS and pay another $90 a month for a longer trip. If the purpose of Gateway is to depopulate Hoboken and PATH, it should not get funded. What is your obsession about taking everyone into NYPS ? The subway stations there are jammed enough as it is, and you want to stick another 100,000 people through there. You need to get over this central station hub focus so popular with planner types and start thinking of distributed networks. This is not Philadelphia and not Chicago. |
