They did such a survey, but asked them the wrong question to get the desired answer. They asked how many want to switch to NJT Rail at Secaucus and head to Penn Sation. Of course they said no.No mention of #7 or Gateway's additional trains. Hell will freeze over before ESA would be extended to the west side. LIRR will not share it, their 8 track capacity is spoken for, and nothing but a flat top, 3rd rail EMU with a 12'10" roof height will fit through 63rd Street tunnel. The E train is misery. I did that commute some years ago. The platform at 34th Street is narrow, the back half of the train gets stuffed, then the PABT passengers then have difficulty getting on at 42nd. So I can envision NJ Bus people working east of 5th and in the fringe area of 47th-50th street taking the #7 rather than the E. I also used to work along 3rd AVvnue at 46th and at 50th Streets. Some LIRR people went to Hunterspoint, others went to Penn. |
