Elizabeth would be a key transfer station and NJ could save $10bn by not having to build an ill-conceived tunnel to Macy's. But I doubt anyone in NJ Transit would ever want to do that!1. Ferries or no ferries, the new tunnels are urgently needed. A "reconstituted CNJ line" would serve the RVL only, but what about the NEC, NJCL, M&E, etc.?? Ferries for them too? I don't think so, sorry.
2. NJT will have little to do with the design, etc. Some input, yes, but not the lead agency this time around.
3. NJ won't be paying for them (the majority of the cost, anyway).
4. They won't be going to "Macy's".
You can't fix stupid, but stupid eventually fixes itself.
