Further, the buses in eastern Bergen County will never do what the trains can—move faster than the traffic instead of with the traffic, carry more pax per vehicle and per trip, perform better in inclement weather, ad libitum...
Since the NJT bait for the DMU thingy was to include dual-mode DMU service later on for the NYC service, that would entail an upgrade later on, of course (I noted the Roger Williams RDC in reference to this). I doubt, however, that will ever be in the offing, especially when George Warrington "moves on" and a new ED takes the reins at NJT...

With the high ceiling in the tunnel, and fans all over, venting out a a GTW 2/6 or like car's fumes would be a non event, and in any case, they're a boatload cleaner than the stuff EMD and GE sell, given they have to meet actual emissions standards over in EuropeThat's completely irrelevant, since the HBLRT is electrified. There never was a station within the tunnel during NYC/NYO&W days, either.
