Any kind of commuter rail is a disaster! The only people who like it, are those who don't have to ride on it. In Most cases they are also the same ones who benefit from the, (can you spell boondoggle children?) It would probably be cheaper to arrange that each of those 7000 daily riders be given a personal limosine.

I dunno. Lets do the math... $340Million divided by 7000 is $48,571.42. Maybe not a limo but maybe an AVIATOR!
Up to $18Million a year from taxpayers for operating the thing. Thats $2,571 a year, to pay for their gasoline I guess....
YUP. These 7,000 people could be given very nice cars for the same price.

Commuter rail works in some places, not in others. If you bought every NJ Transit rider his own limo you would back up trafic on every road for miles.
