For the third day in a row, electrical problems in century-old rail tunnels under the Hudson River on Wednesday stymied the commutes of tens of thousands of New Jersey Transit riders, illustrating again the shortcomings of the region’s languishing infrastructure system.
The delays, coming a week after the board of New Jersey Transit approved a major fare increase, created chaos during the morning rush and gave rise to another round of questions about Gov. Chris Christie’s decision five years ago to halt construction of a new rail tunnel.
The deteriorating tunnels are critical to rail travel in the Northeast, the busiest railroad corridor in the United States, and serve as the most vital artery for New Jersey Transit, the nation’s third-largest provider of commuting services.
