It seems that especially on weekends, ridership on the Main/Bergen Lines has grown in recent months. When they first started the expanded schedule, many of the trains used 1 or 2 cars for passengers. For the past few weeks I've noticed eastbound trains on Saturday and Sunday out of Suffern from 4:30 on are regularly using 3 cars. Even the 10:16 out of Suffern last night had 3 cars full of passengers. NJT has to be impressed with the ridership on weekends.

Secaucus Junction will probably make ridership grow and grow in the course of the upcoming years. As NJT tweaks it and more and more people utilize it and as our state becomes more populate, it will get more and more use as will the M/B/P and Port Jervis Lines.
