A rational civilization would've annexed much of eastern NJ into NYC, or at least set up a single transit agency to coordinate infrastructure across the region. Unfortunately we do not live in rational civilization, and so large scale expansion of the subway in NJ requires negotiating between two state governments, three transit agencies, and dozens of municipal governments (all of which would have to hashed out in congress) because 400 years ago the British thought it would take too damn long to row across the Hudson for it to ever matter.
