Its shuttle service that does non-timed connections and direct trips from locations east of jamaica have been all but completely eliminated. The shuttle service is to jamaica track 12 as well, no longer are transfers cross platform, you have to go up the escalator

The shuttle schedule is temporary for the soft opening and will only last several weeks.

No, you’re confusing the Grand Central Shuttle with the changed Brooklyn service. The changed Brooklyn service eliminates direct trains from Long Island to Brooklyn, having 99% originate at Jamaica

Some people have disabilities or have to carry luggage. Not to mention braving the elements. Have some compassion, this is a reduction in service for tens of thousands of commuters

Not a super big deal, just have to go over a couple platforms. I don’t know why you are super hung up on this
