Again for intra-New Jersey service, the fare system should be the same as the buses with transfers to them EVEN and ESPECIALLY for single trips.

Sarles is a mere sounding board. What NJT needs to do is drop THE Tunnel like a hot potato and concentrate on maintaining/increasing service levels to present destinations, as well as focus on intrastate service expansion in earnest.

NJT looks more and more like Penn Central everyday. Who will rescue it when it collapes this time? The schedule move is sheer idiocy at a time when $4/gallon gasoline will be driving more and more people to rail transit. With service truncated, there will be fewer riders. NJT will then decry the lack of riders and cut service even more. Kris Kolluri, ESQ, the DOT Commissioner, is out to lunch and has been from day one. A very apt analogy.
