To each his own, Joe Hana. I defer. The MTA is more reliable. PATH has more breakdowns and are not always on schedule. It seems that you live in Jersey City so you are closer to the city than others who live further away in Jersey or Long Island. Metro North is really good and if there is a problem then MTA will bend backwards to get it fixed. The response time is very quick.
"The MTA always has delays, delays, more delays, trains being rerouted, trains never showing up, trains being cancelled, and/or your service being non-existent at all." This is bull. Metro North has 3 lines running out of Grand Central that being the Harlem, The Hudson and the New Haven. More commuters are taking trains into NYC because of the higher gas prices and the fact that the train service is quicker. There really are no complaints. Here is a link for performance indicators for Metro North and it also compares other agencies.

BTW, Joe, I am a woman, not a guy.
