Why is everyone twerking so hard for this station?

Both things could be true at the same time, i.e., it's probably needed but also does not save any significant commute time and was grossly over budget.

MULTIPLE sources have stated its a damn trek to get from the track level to the upper levels where you get the subway or Metro North (and this is when it's not even fully operational aka less people) and everyone just seems to want to discount it
