Reply to comment by akowz in The weekend Hoboken PATH stop can rot by akowz

i have to assume the hoboken stop is some kind of appeasement to the hoboken community. they themselves receive 0 inconvenience, but whereas all of jersey city (and newark etc) are inconvenienced.

if they wanted to reduce lines on weekends they could easily have run a shuttle train between hoboken and newport+exchange for example...

on the other hand the hoboken path station is positioned so poorly for them i do feel kind of bad haha

Hoboken has a plethora of public transit options compared to most parts of JC. They have the NJ Transit commuter trains, frequent bus service to the Port Aithority, the light rail, and PATH. No matter where you are in Hoboken, you’re rarely more than a 5-10 minute walk to one of those systems.

It’s almost too much for such a small city. Especially for a city that refuses to allow dense residential development next to the Hoboken Terminal, which has plenty of excess capacity. It’s such a wasted opportunity.

The state should take away some of Hoboken’s transit goodies as punishment for their NIMBY housing policies. (I’m half-joking)

Seriously it could just be a free transfer along the light m rail from hoboken to Newport
