I am sure if this were South Dakota or Nevada something would be done about it. There has not been a new auto tunnel or bridge built between NY and NJ since the 30’s.

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.
