    I would think so. The only people it helps is people who live in Jersey who don't want to drive to the meadowlands.

    Hop on your local train, hop off at Junction, get on shuttle.

    I like this move a lot. I can take a 15-20 minute walk to a train station then take a 30 minute ride to Secaucus. Then hopefully can take a 10-15 minute ride to the stadium. I'm in NJ, and I emailed NJ Transit and apparently the bus to the stadium will be $6 round trip if coming from NJ.

    It's better for the environment, it's cheap, and should be quick. Also, it will keep some drunks off the streets. So drink up, fellows!

    I sent another note to NJ Transit to which they didn't reply - I asked if they'd start the buses out of the stadium before the game ends. I suggested they should start based on demand rather than the timing of the game.

    I did the NY Port Authority bus last year several times, and if they just freaking started running buses when there were lines to fill a bus, it would have been several orders of magnitude better.

    Not sure if there's a contractual reason or something else silly, but those Port Authority lines could be brutal, especially when there were loads of people in line and loads of buses sitting there idle.

    Just load them up and drive when people are ready to leave and in line!! Be ready, say, at the end of the 3rd quarter.

    I may be missing something obvious here, but just take us when we're ready, and the huge lines at the end of the game will be lessened.

    Come on, NJ Transit, you've done well! Just take this last obvious step and getting to and from the games will be immensely better!!!

    Now I am GLAD that I am so poor that I can't afford a ticket to a Jets game!
