Granted that it's needed but the amt of money was too much esp for that $400,000 plus sculpture sitting inside. The money that was wasted because the ST wasn't completed on time and other things could've gone to the MOM or W Trenton and that would've been well underway.Well, speaking as someone who actually rides NJT (and almost never uses a car to go anyplace anymore) I can tell you that Secaucus saves me 1 hour every time I make the trip from New Brunswick to Rutherford. That may not mean anything to you, but the potential to get a once 2 hour trip down to occasionally a less that one hour trip (if my stars align) really does work for me. Say what you want, but that does a lot more for me and a LOT of other people than you give it credit for.
Heck even minor projects like Boonton,Dover-PM Yard and NJCL electirifcation along with Mt Arlignton Station would've been well underway if it weren't for the shortsightedness of NJT and others invovled.
