New Jersey Transit's information talks about 10 of the 11 lines passing through it (for instance [1] says "For the first time ever, 10 of NJ TRANSIT's 11 lines will be connected by one station, putting almost every destination within reach." I don't understand this. Here are the lines:

  1. Bergen County
  2. Main
  3. Pascack Valley
  4. Gladstone
  5. Montclair-Boonton
  6. Morristown
  7. North Jersey Coast
  8. Northeast Corridor
  9. Princeton
  10. Raritan Valley
  11. Atlantic City

That gives 11, but with a problem - the Raritan Valley Line doesn't pass through. The Princeton Branch doesn't get there either, but we can decide not to count it as it's only a dinky branch. But then we have only 10 lines. --SPUI (talk) 18:19, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

--> It's an indirect connection via another NJT train - i.e. via NEC to get to Raritan Valley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.246.252.43 (talk) 03:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bergen County Line

For Bergen County line, the previous station is Rutherford, not Kingsland. Amos Han 14:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks; I fixed it. --NE2 07:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Makes no sense

"There is no public parking at the junction as it was built to ease the commute to and from New York City." What does the one thing have to do with the other? I imagine having parking at Secaucus would very much ease the commutes of many people who now have to pay NJ Transit's exorbitant rates from New Brunswick, etc. —Dfass 01:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
