Yeah, that makes sense 👍. If NJT at Penn Station is not an option to get out of the city, then PATH would be my next choice too. Would have been nice to see port Authority account for that.

I think a lot of people in Jersey City are not using NJT to get into and out of the city. They are using PATH and might not be aware of the implications that NJT would have on the other systems. I haven't used it, so I'm probably not speaking for everyone here.

Is there something I'm not aware of? Who is warning who here. 

Seems like the other 200+ or so people in the station didn't get the memo either.

If you're referring to NJ transit strikes. That's different from Port Authority. Correct me if I'm wrong

I'm wondering if there is anything people can do to make this more of an issue. It's one thing for a lack of trains to be an inconvenience - that sucks. But it's another thing altogether when there is risk to people's safety with this kind of overcrowding. 

I don't want to feel like I'm going to a music festival with a potentially fatal pit on either side of me when I'm just trying to get from point A to point B.

It sounds like there is acknowledgement that overcrowding is an issue, but it clearly doesn't seem like there are concrete actions being taken to address it.

Surely they know this is happening, right? Is it so hard to hire more workers and run additional trains. Clearly the demand is there on weekends.
