How can we bring CitiBike to Weehawken?
I currently drive to Newark everyday for work, but with gas prices and I'm starting to consider taking the light rail or bike to Hoboken terminal, then NJ rail to Newark. The problem with the light rail is it can take 30 minutes to get there (and it's also not super reliable if you're trying to get to places at a certain time), where on a bike, it's literally like 10 minutes to Hoboken terminal along the waterfront. But that means I also have to chain up and leave a bike at Hoboken terminal all day. I know the other options is either a electric scooter or foldable bike, but that means I have to lug that on and off the train and into work everyday.
I'm just thinking how awfully convenient it would be have CitiBike stations at places like Port Imperial. And it's crazy that we don't already have that in place especially with Hoboken and Jersey City being on the CitiBike system already.
Who do we petition for this? Gas prices aren't coming down any time soon, and I feel like we need better non-car transit options. It also makes sense to connect all the ferries and major mass transit hubs along the Hudson with the same bike sharing system.
