There is a sitting area for ticketed passengers.

The problem I had is when I was picking up my daughter her train was hours late. It was 10 pm and I didn’t have a ticket myself. I couldn’t use the area or sit on the floor. It’s annoying

It’s amazing to me how trains can be “hours late” in this country. I used to ride NJ transit a lot and it was hilarious how they just stop and sit at random and turn a 10 mile trip into a 1hr+ slog. I have a friend in Switzerland who was a conductor for years and said that the ONLY reason a train will be delayed there is because someone jumped in front of one, and even still it’ll be a shorter delay than the one caused by a passenger with a stomachache on Amtrak or MTA.

You’ve clearly not arrived early or waited for someone at this transit station. Try carrying a heavy bag with your ticket and being forced to run around this crazy place up & down lots of stairs-and I’m in shape - while looking for a place to sit. I am so disappointed, it isn’t functional at all.

You would think NYC would calculate how many passengers are waiting for a train at peak times and build accordingly, but I have never found seating there even during lighter days I've traveled.
