ABSOLUTELY! Kudos to Jim Wilson for his efforts to restore service at little (hopefully no) additional costs to the New Jersey taxpayer.
The Montclair line, although great for those who live in that town, has not been without controversy. I believe they had to condemn a few buildings in a low income area when they were working on the extension a few months back.
The homes in the area went up 20% after they put in the Midtown Direct line. I took it a few weeks ago to do the McGreevey Freep in Manhattan.
