They run 24 trains per hour in there, which is pretty much the most that is physically possible, and I get the feeling that this means little to no slack in case of delays or whatever. More trans-Hudson capacity is needed in whatever form possible. A second XBL would be great, and I personally think an extension of the 7 down the north tube of the Lincoln Tunnel would be even greater. The Penn tunnels can be fairly said to be over capacity.

Does anyone know what the destinations are for the 132,000 cars and light trucks crossing the GWB? Those are some incredible stats.

And he lived like a block from the train tracks but there was no stop in his town and no easy way to get to the nearest station. I wonder if the Penn tunnels are at capacity too?
