I can imagine that some commuters would like a Bayonne/Path connection, but the Bayonne bridge is not a very heavily utilized route, comparatively.
I'm not suggesting that Staten Island, especially the North Shore, couldn't use trains. My point rather is that it will probably not be a priority there. The area is relatively poor, and the wealthier parts of Staten Island (which loves the SUV, and maybe NASCAR too) wouldn't really benefit. IMHO there is little chance that $360 million gets spent there, for that.
My mom would be happy--she could see her grandchildren without the bus/ferry/subway shuffle.
