NJ Transit exists to funnel workers to and from Manhattan.
Workers don’t want to work in Manhattan anymore or spend time and money getting there.
Holy moly, fare now is just under $3
What the English governments do is to decide the level of transit service desired.
The bus routes (by timeframe) are then individually bid out with the company requiring the least subsidy winning the route.
I don’t know how English commuter rail is set up financially.
The rail tracks are government owned. Private train companies run long distance service. Each day a lead operator on a line sets daily walk-up pricing. Advance tickets can be bought online at what I think is attractive pricing.
A small price for New Jerksey to pay for the privilage of living under democrat dictatorship.
Waiting for the “ it’s racist” folks to chime in
There are European train operating companies.
Perhaps NJ Transit people and Murphy should make a few phone calls.
That’s an understatement.
The economy is fantastic…
All you need to know is they’ve taken to naming their highway rest stops after living rock stars.
