More like faster boarding instead of a bottleneck

> the train can’t just park there for 10-15 minutes and let people board at their own pace. I really don’t think you take Amtrak lol.

Sounds like youve never taken Amtrak. They all have a 20 minute layover at Penn, including a complete crew change.

You are talking about two different issues.

No one said wait on the platform.

OP said:

>If you are going where the line is you are in the wrong place. Use the lower concourse to board.

There are 5-8 stair/escalators onto each platform. There is no reason for everyone to wait at the one in the center of the new building.

You can still wait at the other 7 for everyone to get off before going down

Grand Central seems to manage without this line nonsense.

Grand central announces their track times much earlier than Penn does

This is because GCT has much greater capacity than NYP (about 3X the tracks) while also serving a fraction of the passengers.
