By Caitlin Mota | The Jersey Journal

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has proposed to add a streetcar line connecting Brooklyn to Queens, but developers won't need to look far for a similar system to help develop their plans.

NJ Transit's Hudson-Bergen Light Rail -- which services Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, Union City, and North Bergen -- is just a few miles away and already provides the similar service the city plans to offer, according to The New York Times.

The New York plan, dubbed the Brooklyn Queens Connector, is expected to cost the city $2.5 billion and is designed to serve customers who don't need to travel to Manhattan, according to the report.

Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop told the Times when the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system was proposed, there was "tremendous push back from the community."

"Today, I think the residents there would tell you it was a huge success," Fulop told the Times.

And many residents agree, according to the report.

Vasko Prasko, 36, told the Times he has been taking the light rail for a decade and years ago the trains were empty.

"It's hard to find a seat anymore, it's that popular," he said.
