I’ve noted before that the people who run the New York Times seem to have not the vaguest notion of just how their island is connected to New Jersey.

 Now it seems they don’t understand who runs their subway system either.

There was  an article in Wednesday’s Times on Chris Christie’s response to a soon-to-be-released study on the canceled ARC Tunnel.
In it, we come across this puzzling passage about the governor’s views:

While the tunnel would have expanded the number of subway lines available to those who commute to Pennsylvania Station in New York City, he characterized it on Tuesday as a dead-end to a department store.

Huh? ARC had nothing to do with  expanding subway lines.

 The plan called for two tunnels carrying NJ Transit trains, not MTA subways.
