Can anyone confirm this rumor from another cruise board site

Even that would be a challenge. Many jobs such as retail  NYPD and Medical already work hours that aren't Monday -Friday 9-5.  I make my Dr appointments for late morning or early afternoon. I take an off peak train to Penn and jump on the M34 bus to go to the appointment. While I can get a seat there still was no way to social distance.

I don't think there are enough hours in the day for that to work in NYC.

There are a few companies in NYC and the surrounding suburbs that have informed their employees that it's possible they may be working from home for the rest of the year.

 

Of course, that could change next week.

Though very plausible, until it's posted on the port authority website, I would take it as rumor.

The Cape Liberty web site has nothing noted to the effect of what the OP posted. And as far as "social distancing" on the subway, buses and LIRR, metro north, and other commuter rails once a regular work force returns that will be impossible, everyone wearing masks would have to be the only option. And adding cars, trains to what already exists in the rush hours will be difficult as they run to almost 100% of capacity already. Not to mention the times during the rush when they remove trains and combine trains due to unforseen circumstances like broken rails then it can be a sardine factory on the trains.
