[From article]
The terminal, which opened in 1950 a block east of the Lincoln Tunnel, was designed for smaller buses and fewer passengers. Space and capacity issues now cause regular delays for the NJ Transit buses, which account for 70 percent of the terminal’s traffic.
Buses forced to wait for gates spew exhaust and contribute to traffic congestion. The lack of a garage means empty buses are driven back to New Jersey following the morning rush; and then return empty to pick up homeward-bound commuters in the evening.
I've been on a NJ Transit Bus which rode up and down NYC streets for about 20 minutes waiting for a berth to enter the terminal and discharge passengers.
