Fix the fucking doors wtf , who the fuck goes there to enjoy the AC . They could’ve used the money to help the homeless. Who gives a shit if it’s cool in the summer.

The 150,000 people who use a day... Being stuck in a station like Newark Penn without AC can be very dangerous...the system is old and needs to be replaced.. The Homeless issue is on the city/county to fund and address.

Exactly 150,000 people and the doors don’t work. From what I’ve notice people wait mostly on the platforms. No one really waits around the station, not even on game nights. How are those doors not a hazard?, some are locked or blocked by people. It safer to get people in and out with the proper entrances and exits.

Installing Automatic doors would be nice, but so would installing turnstiles at least up to the platform areas.

I notice how long the platforms are I might be wrong but tracks 2 and 5 seem to be longer than the middle 3 and 4. More entrances and waiting areas that are properly ventilated along those might work. But let’s face it we got them new silver doors lol that’s their improvement

The Long term goal is to restore the southern portion of the station, which would allow for 2 full length trains to occupy each track. Only track 5 can fully handle that at the moment. The Southern portion will also be connected to Prudential via a New Bridge and Station head house.

As a daily commuter. I do sir lol. And the smell of ass due to stale air is why I can’t enjoy the AC

It doesn’t smell in the big waitiing room or the platforms, whats there to enjoy at penn? The air? Are you kidding me, this is sadly the kind of place where you go and get out asap, it’s over crowded as hell. It stinks around the bathroom and the McDonald’s. Sometimes it does stink but it’s because we are so close to the water, a lot of it it’s swamp water. No amount of AC is going to help that. The air issue is so trivial. The day the place needs to get evacuated in case of a serious event there will sadly be deaths due to the outdated exits and entrances. If you go to Penn please plan so you are there as little as possible it’s not safe. Also fuck those metrocrd machines for the path lol hop that shit whenever you can.

We are surrounded by water and swamp no amount of AC is going to make it enjoyable. Just take a walk on market street in the summer it’s like satans armpits. Close the 711 and give us safe passage ways.
