- Rail renovations at Penn Station have started (July 10th – Sept 1st) in response to increasing ridership and lagging infrastructure (vs London, Singapore, etc).
- The renovations will dramatically reduce service (track/platform closures) for Amtrak, Long Island Rail Road, and NJ Transit.
- In response, the transport authorities have increased discounts and alternative transport availability (buses, ferries, etc).
- The renovations will increase the weekday commute into Manhattan by at least 30 minutes for many workers.
