Adding the Moynihan Hall was a welcome improvement to Penn Station, but didn't address the main problem, which is insufficient capacity for the number of trains that run through it. There aren't enough tracks, the platforms are too narrow, and the tunnels entering and leaving the station have too limited capacity. These will be much harder to solve, because the underground area around the station is already heavily crowded.
@[email protected] they missed in one huge way. The food court and bars are at near 9th Ave, but the platforms that most daily riders use are near 7th. If you have only 20 minutes to kill before a commuter train, Moynihan hall is too far away to use.
