The main question is NJ Transit. They already cooperate with the MTA
on the west of Hudson Metro-North trains, which are extensions of NJ
commuter lines, but they don't do joint fares with PATH even though it
would make a lot of sense for the many commuters who transfer between
the two at Hoboken and Newark.

It would help greatly if NJ Transit ticket offices sold some sort of
Metrocard, even say the pre-packaged kind that news dealers sell.
Buying a Metrocard upon arrival at Pennsylvania Station is a pain due
to the crowds.

Is that not yet integrated into ticket purchases like Metro-North has?
