Why hasn't there been a NJ-bound express lane for all these years? What's the point of having a Manhattan-bound lane in the morning, and no NJ-bound lane in the afternoon? I don't get it. All the people going into the city in the morning are leaving the city in the evening. There actually SHOULD be a 24/7 lane into Manhattan, and another 24/7 lane leaving Manhattan. Did this ever happen?

Whenever I go to Jersey or Nyack it always seems that they never hit Manhattan streets. Have I been only riding the privileged bus lines?

Going towards New Jersey, the car traffic that would otherwise enter through the XBL contributes to the amazing nastiness that is ninth avenue north of the Lincoln tunnel.
