Oh, goodness... The hyperbole never ceases with this nutter.

You know what else takes up "so much space on an already crowded platform"?? Fat, obese people. And Indian workers carrying their 50-pound backpacks. They take up as much space as those 6-inch thick "walls". You know what else takes up a ton more space? The clueless people who insist on bringing an OPEN double wide stroller onto PATH stations and trains.

oh c'mon. there's a difference between people taking up space with misbehavior (strollers and backpacks), and PATH officials taking up even more space with useless billboards. those "be courteous" signs are bullshit if the authority asking for courtesy can't show a modicum of it themselves.

I'm not seeing the connection between your image and my post, but I know you have a hard on for seeing sociopathic behavior in many things. You sure have some odd obsessions.

Let's review
1. You have issues with fat people
2. You have issues with obese people
3. You have issues with Indian people with back-packs but not other races with back-packs, yet these people could be U.S citizens
4. You have issue with parents with more then one child in a stroller.

Seriously you are a CLASSIC sociopath and don't even know it - Just keep on posting and your personality disorder shows it's true colors ... it must be easy for you to be so perfect!

I think you have issues with reading comprehension. None of what you concluded is actually supported by what I wrote. Stop reading what you want into things.

You probably didn't get an extra cookie with your milk in class today so no problem. The billboards just went up. No?

My suggestion is to boot Anna Wintour and her army of trust-fund b@tches out of 1 WTC, and sell it to the Chinese for top dollar to convert into luxury condominiums. The proceeds from the sale would go directly into a dedicated fund - administered by a special master, bypassing the PA bureaucracy - to fund PATH upgrades.

What would a couple billion dollars do for the system?

The literal only feasible solution I see is to start working with the MTA and offer combined passes. The WTC line is way below capacity, and because of the loop track, capacity is far more fluid. Getting more people to take the MTA from the shiny new $4,000,000,000 hub they built is going to be essential.

Honestly, right now, it might take an extra two minutes for me to get to my office with Grove -> WTC -> 2/3 over taking the 33rd St train directly, and that's with having to go above ground at WTC. When you can just walk through THE OCULUS, it will probably be even faster.

Agree it was an overdue and logical step. It was maddening to see nearly empty Hoboken trains, followed by packed JSQ trains, especially coming home from the city after work. Stations were so crowded that there were safety concerns, not to mention the delays caused by people trying to get on or off trains through the waiting crowds. That extra minute at each stop on the trip adds up. Some extra trains to JSQ will help a bit.

However, where was / is some proactive planning from the PA? As others have pointed out, this problem has been brewing for a long time. And guess what? It's going to get a lot worse, and soon. Heads-up PA - see those shiny, new towers going up all over JC...? Well, they are going to be full of commuters. What is your plan for when those buildings are completed?

But did the PA cut service by 14% or shift service to different stations? It is an important distinction.

The 33rd street line is currently at capacity. Adding service simply isn't an option in the short term. Adjusting service so you add to areas that are crowded at the expense of areas that are not crowded makes sense. It's the first logical thing I've seen them do in forever.

FWIW, I looked at the schedules and JSQ is 4-5 min between trains to Hoboken's 7.

They added an extra minute onto the empty Hoboken trains and gave that minute to the overcrowded JC trains. Compare the current and old schedules.

I agree it's the first logical thing I've seen them do in forever. Yet their spoiled brat mayor has to complain on and on about it, ultimately seeking to make JC trains more crowded.

I agree the best solution is for both cities to have extra frequency, but the recent change is a logical solution that doesn't cost any extra money and should be applauded, not cried about.
