So nothing should be done to make it easier for car drivers to go to New Jersey. If a bus lane is added, it should be taken from NJ-bound lanes. In the afternoon wait times are much worse NY-bound than NJ-bound, because NJ-bound traffic gets an extra lane. That is the lane that should be used for buses. Better yet, institute tolls in both directions, using cameras and high-speed E-Z Pass. The reason why there are more NJ-bound travelers is obvious- no tolls in that direction.
