Bureaucratically, it would be a huge challenge.Thinking about it makes my head hurt. Who pays for what portion's operations? What happens if there is a disagreement at some point over the funding formula? Can the NY side simply cease service across the Hudson? Possibly, it could be resolved by ceding the Flushing Line to PATH. That would definitely resolve some of the problems, but it introduces new ones. How is fare control handled in Manhattan? A much greater issue is, "why is the City of New York ceding its assets for the benefit of New Jersey? Will NJ consent to the reintroduction of the commuter tax?" It's not much more crazy than the idea tossed around in some quarters to have HBLR extended to SI. That strikes me as more of a PATH situation, but we'll have to see how that plays out. |
