Yesterday, New Jersey Transit broke ground on a new Hudson-Bergen light-rail station at 8th Street in Bayonne.

The station is part of NJ Transit's plan to extend the line one mile south from its current southern terminus at 22nd Street to 8th Street in Bayonne. The extension is expected to be complete in 2010.

Ridership on the Hudson-Bergen line, which opened eight years ago, is up more than 13 percent so far this year vs. 2007's pace.
