The crossing sets the schedule

Everything on this corridor turns on the tunnel. The Holland Tunnel feeds Lower Manhattan and SoHo; the Lincoln Tunnel feeds Midtown and the Port Authority area. We pick the crossing per worksite and back-time departures for the morning queue, which can add 15 to 25 minutes at peak. A single 14- or 24-seat vehicle usually anchors this run.

Why a shuttle beats the PATH here

The PATH is excellent — until a worksite sits blocks from a station, or the platforms are shoulder-to-shoulder. A shuttle delivers a team door-to-door on one timetable, which is why reverse-commute and off-line offices lean on it. It also frees staff from the transfer at 33rd Street or the World Trade Center.
