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 more fundamental constraints will be much harder to solve, because the underground area around the station is already heavily crowded.

@mattblaze@federate.social Stupid comment from me, but having played games like Open TTD, or working in network security for awhile (Which is more important? Your mileage may vary.) Getting physical objects into an already congested area is a problem. Getting data in and out of it though...
