The corridor is already heavily served by NJ Transit and for-profit bus services, but the problem is, since there is no dedicated transit ROW, they're stuck in sever traffic during rush hour.

At some point, the west side of the Hudson needs another heavy rail line. I don't know if we're talking PATH, or subway, or something else, but there needs to be another cross-Hudson connection that heads into the dense neighborhoods. And I'm not counting the upcoming Gateway tunnel.
