Well there's your answer

They could give everyone in Jersey City $37,685. Or free helicopter rides to Statue of Liberty for residents.
But real answer is expand / support public transit.

I've read that since it's into NYC, they need specific qualifications to be a PATH conductor which leads to them reserving it specifically for rush hour.
I disagree and am upset about it, but some context (that I should probably double fact check)
> As Business Week explored recently, the Port Authority’s PATH system is woefully inefficient. PATH, noted the magazine, is more expensive than any comparable system and shouldn’t even be compared to Transit’s subway network. According to recent studies, the per-passenger cost of a PATH ride to Port Authority is $8.45, and the average fare of just under $2 doesn’t even cover a quarter of these costs. The New York City subway on the other hand relies on subsidies of around $1.11.
