I think there is a far better solution that tackles the problem at its core, and that's expanding rail service in NJ, but it requires expanding cross river capacity and terminal capacity in Manhattan. All a 7 train extension does is move the transfer point for the Hoboken division riders to Secaucus instead of Hoboken. For those who ride a bus into the PABT, it ends up adding a transfer to peoples commute who don't work along the 7. How is that better? Expanding commuter rail capacity into Manhattan takes strain off the XBL/PABT, PATH, and even certain subway lines depending on how it is implemented. |
