But that would require expanding rail capacity on NJT, which I can't imagine the PA would want to pay for.
The GWB is underused , so is the Holland Tunnel in terms of Bus usage. I'm for the 7 to New Jersey , but only if it went to Hoboken Terminal which is underused and could handle a massive statewide Rail expansion. The Bus line from Hoboken to 42nd Street is also overcapacity so its a win-win.
