Happy to see it. Coming from upstate, It was always frustrating switching from Grand Central to Penn Station to get to Long Island.

@DTD110865 Год назад

I've always been fine coming in from Long Island and connecting to Grand Central through the subways. Several months ago, I saw a RU-vid video of a test run at the station, and I was thoroughly impressed.

@ciro9251 Год назад

Hopefully they’ll eventually do the same with Nj transit

Yeah, it does make more sense to have riders from Long Island go to Grand Central unless they want to go to New Jersey or take Amtrak.

@justahillbilly7777 Год назад

I would call this expansion of Grand Central and other developments with Amtrak and other entities to be baby steps in the right direction, though there are some HUGELY negative steps in the beginning stages of being physical taken as well, at least in regards to Penn Station and the “updates” being brought to that station. It doesn’t take a genius to look at the current Penn Station plan and realize that it’s nothing but a glorified real estate deal that merely keeps the status quo with some added lipstick put on the pig when it comes to the track level and street level. ReThinkNYC’s plan is a far better alternative that rights the historic wrong of demoing the OG Penn Station as well as turning Penn into a more efficient through-running station rather then keeping it as the inefficient terminal it is now, though their plan does have some flaws that could potentially be easily remedied if the MTA, NJT, and Amtrak were to be collaborated with on fixing those flaws.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

@@TheTimeForChange44 except the differences is that the subway system, our subway system is over 100 years old. One entity isn't responsible for the other. Crime is unfortunately everywhere and we simply have more of it because we have more people. I'm on the subway all the time and I was just out having lunch at Don Giovanni's and all I basically saw were people going about their daily business just like everyone else. While homelessness is an epidemic and the never-ending battle I was once briefly homeless myself but it got bad enough for me to change and now I pay my own rent. So whenever I see someone homeless if I can help out with a cup of coffee or sandwich that's what I do.

They unironically put a Jerry Seinfeld quote on the wall of an important train terminal...I love the timeline we're living in. New York's motto is Excelsior, meaning "Ever Upward", and this new terminal is a shining example of that. Did it take too long and a lot of money? Yes, but now many commuters will benefit from this change, so in the end it was completely worth it. And Metro North commuters will benefit from Penn Station Access once that's done too, as that is adding new stations in THe Bronx. The NYC metro area runs on rail. It's an example of what rail in this country COULD be. If you build it, they will come.

Then connecting to the "mainline" Penn Station LIRR in Queens. However both times, it stopped due to severe national/international economic recessions.

And besides that, I think there are only three LIRR stations in Brooklyn on the Atlantic Terminal line, which won't be directly affected by the new GCM terminal besides schedule changes. Not as relevant to people living on that line instead of commuting to it. For Queens residents, there will be changes if you're close to the LIRR, but if you're in the parts of Queens closer to the subway, you don't really need to care as much about using the LIRR either. The fare is admittedly a bit expensive for those who have other options like the subway anyways.

I liked the old design better aesthetically. Same with the San Francisco bay bridge - they made it sterile and cold, I mean modern

@qwertyboo Год назад

they should have continued with the old design, as an interior designer, I'm sure the right people could modernise without sacrificing the aesthetic of the old. I wish they went with that approach.

It’s still a travesty that New York allowed the razing of Penn Station. The one there today is an eyesore compared to the original that was built there until it was Razed. One of the biggest losses in architectural history.

It's not going anywhere. They just build an expansion underneath the old hall.

I love how when ever we talk about transit we always bring up the cost but never the other way around. TXdot is spending 85.1 BILLION DOLLARS ON A HIGHWAY THAT WILL ALWAYS BECOME CLOGGED WITH TRAFFIC. Glad to see we are finally catching up and ditching the car. No more highways that will bulldoze minority communities

It’s been over a year now since the LIRR began service to Grand Central. The terminal is bare. There’s nothing down there. Only small coffee stands have been serving customers for all this time. They need to put in restaurants and retail to attract more customers and it would make a lot of money.

The tunnels under the Hudson? Would be nice if they could put an additional one besides the 'new' one and THEN do their scheduled repairs to the existing old one so that it could be a bicycle/pedestrian tunnel (big enough for an ambulance/& or police cruiser). . .for casual upgrade to the Metro area. In other words, TWO train tunnels AND a pedestrian tunnel.

The upcoming L.A. Union Station expansion will be almost as amazing and transformative. No massive tunneling work needed, just a huge bridge over the 101 Freeway, and a major expansion under the train platforms to make a new passenger concourse.

@anthonysnyder1152 Год назад

LA needs to start convincing more people to use transit for daily use. California as a whole (except maybe San Francisco where 46% of the population doesn't have a car) has a huge population that is so heavily reliant on cars to get around. If you took away even 1/5 of the LAs cars to rely on public transit, you'd bet that there would be immediately more investment in transit development. I think I saw that the next big extension to the rail system wasn't planned for completion until 2043+... kinda crazy how long infrastructure takes to build when you don't fund it properly.

@pacificostudios Год назад

@@anthonysnyder1152 - That's one reason why e-bikes promise so much for California. I have one and it makes traveling fun. Plus I can roll it onto trains and go to other cities. The key is to get people to use something besides cars to travel. As the population of southern California continually increases, more and more of our cities are not easy to access by car due to traffic and lack of parking. Just this weekend, I wanted to check out a trendy coffee house in Los Feliz. But with no parking, I spent my time at a chain coffeehouse instead. I should have taken public transit, but I was going to a party and the last train south out of L.A. now leaves at 7:30 p.m., until the tracks are fixed in San Clemente.

@MrPrivmack Год назад

@@anthonysnyder1152 L.A. needs to build, expand and have reliable public transit infrastructure first. Only then can people be convinced to ditch their cars. I was a public transit commuter before, but its unreliability is so frustrating that I decided to just drive.

@sparkatronnnn Год назад

I agree but the metro stations are so rundown in LA.. compared to NYC it’s not popular in use & pretty sketchy. Some of the metro stops are by the freeway and it’s in the dangerous parts of LA. I wish Public transportation was used more but it’s just not likely.

@@euroschmau Apples to oranges. You are comparing New York to cities built during the last 2 or 3 decades like Seoul and Singapore or Shanghai. Paris is beautiful because it was basically raised to the ground and rebuilt to look cohesive by Napoleon. London is funded by the UK national government just like Washington DC is in the US. Singapore is an authoritarian city where you can be caned publicly for graffiti, of course it will be much cleaner than anywhere else.
