This was a two year project and sadly I don't think the low ridership numbers and all the budget cutting will allow it to be saved. I enjoyed the few times I got to operate these trains. It was something quite interesting to operate different equipment on new territory.How low was the ridership?

Also listening to 660 WFAN I haven't heard any commercials regarding the Meadowlands Service. If they publicize the heck out of the service than I ideally the ridership should go up.I know News 12 Westchester had a report on the first run last year.
