I live in Astoria and personally know a few workers at local restaurants that commute from the Bronx. I know a few workers here who work down near Bay Ridge. Right now all of them drive, and thinking about it, this is probably part of the reason why the Triboro / BQE are always jam packed. Amtrak/NYS should figure out how to work together to get a project like this done... it could alleviate some of the traffic problems.

I mean if they have both parking at work and at home then car might be better. Otherwise for 5.50 between going back and forth sounds like a better option . Taking the N/W trains and then switching to 4 or D . Depending on where to the Bronx you are going

One option would be to extend the Bx41 SBS to LGA, convert 2 lanes on the Triboro to bus/HOV 3+ and convert two of the Grand Central frontage road lanes to bus only.
