Jersey Trains Packed

New Jersey's commuter trains are bursting at the seams.Ridership was up 5% in Q1.Richard Sarles,head of New Jersey Transit,said they are buying double-decker train cars,which will transport more riders at less energy cost than adding standard rail cars.The agency's ultimate goal is to double the number of trains to 46 per hour,and build a new tunnel to New York City-at a cost of more than seven billion dollars U.S..The tunnel will take 10 years to build,Mr.Sarles said.Many other states are seeing an increase in commuter passengers as the price of gas skyrockets.
