New Yorkers, rejoice! Well, at least a little bit. Amtrak has reported that over half of the repairs they had scheduled for Penn Station are now complete. They’re even going as far as saying they are ahead of schedule. The repair plans have 20 projects scheduled, 12 of which are successfully finished, with four more in progress.
For some commuters, this summer has been a rough one. While the MTA has worked to provide alternative modes of transportation and travel routes, there is no denying that those plans simply don’t work for some people. All the same, the Long Island Rail Road has offered ferries out of Glen Cove, Long Island and Long Island City, Queens, as well as routes to Manhattan by transferring at Jamaica to take the Manhattan-bound E train or the Brooklyn-bound train to Atlantic Terminal.
Riders from both New York and New Jersey have seemed to manage their commutes without too much stress, but the MTA-run subway system is usually where things go south. Some subways have been seriously delayed or even canceled, extending riders’ commutes or forcing them to find other routes of transportation. This being the case, we’re pretty sure it’s safe to say that everyone is looking forward to the completion of these repairs.
