We need and additional tunnel on the Holland for bus rapid and a downtown bus terminal near the entrance on the Manhattan side. In the suburban nature of New Jersey the buses provide service to more areas in this state and carry more [passengers. Lets put aside that they have the name "BUS".

Nothing against suburban trains, but buses are vastly more efficient in terms of passenger-miles per pound of CO2 than trains (See slides of my talk at http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/~somalwar/energy/) Specific comment: When I click on Middlesex County in NJ, it appears that the biggest service (Coach USA) is missing. Just a link to the coachusa website is probably enough as their website seems to be pretty good. Excellent!
