The Authority should scale back its ambitions for a new bus station and use the far more efficient PATH network, a suggestion that’s been made by PA Vice Chairman Scott Rechler, a top real estate developer. He envisions a cheap, swift alternative: have buses connect to PATH trains in New Jersey, rather than cram them through the bottleneck of the Lincoln Tunnel. Better signaling systems, longer rush hours and longer trains would make up the difference. (The PA is already spending more than $300 million for new signals to move 50,000 more commuters a day, and is lengthening platforms to accommodate longer trains).

So ridiculous.
The tunnel has 6 lanes. PATH has 2 tracks. That alone is a huge issue because PATH has to single track for maintenance. Meanwhile, that doesnt happen for the bus tunnel.
Further, it screws over riders.
You want to force people to take a bus and pay one fare, then ride PATH and pay another fare, and then ride MTA and pay yet another fare? Hell, no.
