Fascinating, ambitious project ... but I can't help wonder if that kind of investment can ever be justified. $12.9 billion for 200,000 daily riders? New Jersey has about 4.5 million people in its labor force. That's a lot of money for one project that handles less than 5% of them -- and takes them to jobs where they pay income taxes in another jurisdiction.

Money well spent, even if a lot of it isn’t particularly well spent.

And just think. The stuff that they want to renew/rebuild/replace was all originally funded by The Standard Railroad of the World..

(That would be the Pennsylvania Railroad..)
