The solution to the problem at NY-Penn Station should have nothing to do with NY-Penn Station...59% of LI Commuters work closer to Atlantic Terminal or Hunterspoint Avenue, yet those two terminals only get a combined 27% of the rush hour service the LIRR provides... This imbalance shifts riders unescescarily to NYK, making crowding worse there...Coming from New Jersey the balance is a little differnet...73% of people work closest to NY-Penn Station while 27% work closer to Newark/Hoboken...though that could probably be improved by speeding up the trip into Hoboken and improving PATH/ferry service at Hoboken. |
