PATH to Boost Capacity by 20%, Or Roughly Not Nearly Enough to Meet Demand

The Port Authority announced by press release a $500 Million upgrade to the 40 year old signal system which promises to increase the number of peak trains.

Even without delays to construction, relief is still seven years away.

No parking, and no room on the PATH, it's going to be awesome.
