PATH should not be considered a commuter railroad! Weekend numbers are rising fast. PATH should have normal service instead of weekend service. Numbers would rise even higher.
On the plus side, NIMBYs have lost a credible claim about PATH overcrowding. Tens of thousands of units coming online and still not close to pre-pandemic ridership levels. Might as well keep adding until back up to 300,000 people a day and resume talks of expansion of service.
