Perhaps a survey should be done of the existing bus riders which they would prefer before a decision is made. Either way, it still doesn't address the issue of capacity which is the only thing that will allow the rail system in NJ to expand so there can be less dependency on the bus network. And if folks are pitching the idea of a Center City type thru tunnel, I can pitch connecting ESA with Gateway. Doing that could also redistribute the amount of people using Penn Station and GCT, but a study would have to be done to determine exactly how. It would certainly take pressure off the E train though, and the 7 and Shuttle would see less crowding because of folks being redirected from the PABT to both NYP and GCT.Not to be a dick, but the mentality of "forget it, it won't happen" is exactly why we're going to end up with a half assed band-aid solution to the problem instead of really making the investment we need to in order to bring our infrastructure up to a level that can meet the current and future demand of our region |
