The commuter rail system has plenty of capacity on the Hoboken division, though. The subway connection would make that side more attractive, reducing the desire for a direct bus ride. The Newark division already has the subway transfer at NYP so it probably wouldn't help much there.And buses could be diverted to Secaucus for the subway transfer. Unless you were going to the Times Square area you were transferring from a bus to subway anyway - and with both 42nd and 14st crosstowns, there's an easy path to all trunk lines (and in each place where one crosstown has a long walking transfer, the other has a short one). If you want a commuter expansion that's actually useful into Manhattan, it would need to be something elaborate, like a through running tunnel that ran up an avenue and made stops, similar to the Center City tunnel. So trains could enter either NYP or ((unnamed downtown station)) and run up/down 5th ave with stops at 4st, 14st, 23st (for example). *That* is a plan I'd get behind. |
