I am also a big believer in #7 to Secaucus. Yes, give people the option of moving the transfer point west of Manhattan, and reduce bus volume.
You also can't keep stuffing everybody and their uncle into Penn Station. It already handles 650,000 people.

You seem to forget that an extended #7 adds rail capacity as well as Gateway. So for the $10B price of rebuilding PABT, we could extend #7 and have rail capacity tripled. Instead of $1B building out 10th Avenue station, build a North Hoboken intermediate station, and intercept more buses and HBLRT.

Don't expect any real expansion of the NJT rail system in our lifetimes. Other than MOM, Lackawanna Cutoff, P-Purg, and West Trenton would never be heavy hitters if they were to happen.
