Before the pandemic, some 600,000 people grudgingly trudged through Penn Station every day. Approximately zero of them would have done so if not for one reason: The trains. 

This may seem like an obvious point. Penn Station is a train station. People from Long Island, New Jersey, and other points in the country via Amtrak come to and from Penn Station to catch a train. Everything else in the station, from the formerly-gross-but-now-decent bathrooms to the sad waiting halls to the underrated pizza place is to serve the people who are there for the trains.
