Growing up in Brooklyn, Jersey City existed only in theory to me. I never, even as an adventurous teen, remotely considered going to social events or places in Jersey City/Hoboken etc even though it was directly across the river.

It's funny because people don't recognize that these are the same tracks. Thats how bifurcated the region is.

This may seem like a small change, but New Yorkers literally visualize their city as the subway map. In the mind of many NYers, if it's not on the subway map, it's a suburb.

That effectively leaves out Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark etc, which are most certainly part of the urban core.

Notably, SEPTA includes the PATCO line into New Jersey on its core map...as a colored rapid transit line. The MTA should follow...
