Despite the promised increase in train service, nearly 50% of Manhattan office workers said they wouldn’t be coming into the office on an average weekday this fall, according to a survey by the civic business organization Partnership for New York City.

“So you can position yourself on the train so you get out, you go out right to the most convenient exit that takes you exactly where you're going,” MTA Chair Janno Lieber said Tuesday at an announcement for the transit hub’s new name. “That's a huge benefit for the people coming to the busiest part of our business district.”

Perhaps the biggest benefit of the project, though, is it allows the MTA to run more trains from Long Island into the city. The agency is currently working on new schedules and plans to divide trains between Penn Station and Grand Central Madison. The agency expects there to be a 40% increase in trains headed to New York City overall, and a 58% increase in trains headed to Manhattan.
