At the rate they're going NJT will spend upwards of 10 billion dollars on rolling stock alone by 2020. We'll have more shiny new trains than any other system's total fleet, and absolutely nowhere to run them, in Manhattan, New Jersey or elsewhere. Meanwhile we'll have bent over backward to service the supercommuters from Princeton, High Bridge, Bay Head, Hackettstown, and points north of Suffern so they can tout catch phrases like Transit Oriented Development on their projects, all while allowing existing urban core services to atrophy under the anemic pace of their push pull trainsets. Fifteen years from now Bergen County will still be a basketcase to get around during rush hour, NJ-ARP will be holding up the Northern Branch HBLRT studies as a path forward, the Lackawanna Coalition will still be worshiping at the altar of the almighty Cutoff to add more supercommuters to the NJT mix, and NJ will have become the Mississippi of the Northeast. |
