Reply to comment by stewartm0205 in East Side Access won't be finished by 2022, but trains to Grand Central still planned for this year by sulaymanf

Pipe dream. They can just take the 4 and MTA gets to charge double fairs for the to do it. Best believe if there was a shuttle or train that already went from grand central to penn we wouldn't need to build ESA

Mass transit is about reducing the time and effort for moving people. Reducing people commute by even twenty minutes one way would improve their lives.

At the cost of decades and tens of billions when there’s already a subway system that goes directly from Grand Central to Wall Street in less than 15 minutes? It’s 4 stops, 11 minutes to be exact. No one is doing this.

We need to bring transit to areas that lack it. Not save folks coming in from their suburban neighborhoods the 5 minute walk to the 4 train at GC. Please.
