How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• ”[T]he rate of return is reasonable, regardless of the method of accounting used, if PATH is properly included in the rate base.”
• ‘We agree with Judge Pollack that this [legislative history] gives the Port Authority some flexibility which could extend to including PATH in the rate base with the bridges and tunnels.”
• “A functional relationship exists, then, among those facilities that contribute to the Port Authority’s performance of its duty efficiently to provide transportation to travelers over and under the waterways between southern New York and northern New Jersey.”
• “If a large percentage of the people traveling between A in New Jersey and B in New York freely choose to use either river crossing X or river crossing Y, then X and Y have a functional relationship.”
• “If [70,000 PATH passengers] were to use the tunnels instead, the tunnels would be come overcrowded. Congestion in the tunnels would lead many travelers ... to use the George Washington Bridge. Others ... could shift to the Staten Island bridges.”
