Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corp. · ¶9

Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, New Jerseyans increasingly drove to work. This shift led railroads to curtail commuter-rail services connecting the New Jersey suburbs to New York City and caused significant highway congestion. The New Jersey Legislature responded by providing heavy subsidies and operational assistance to the major private rail and bus companies that served the region, but service remained severely fragmented.
