This really irks me! All these people, clamoring for train service, but no
one will use it! Look at the "newly restored" Hackettstown service - only a
handful of riders daily. And they're talking about extending service to
Washington, NJ! What, for another 10 people a day?

*UGH*  -- This is why I fear some of these line restorations - will the
"predicted" ridership really pan out? I'd certainly like it to, but that
hasn't proven to be the case in many circumstances recently...
