so privat investors want to build some apartments- ans the rest of the people can pay for a new station- so it fits to the new buildings. in the usa you only have public investments if there is some private investment hiding behind it. ugh bye , it became a 3 world country sorry
I remember the current Penn station being best described by this comparison to the original; "With the original Penn Station, people strode into NYC like kings. Now they scurry in like rats."
Penn station is New York’s version of skid row in LA
Pain Station
If penn station is rebuilt according to rethinkpennstation’s plans,then It’d take the title from Grand Central as the most beautiful station in NYC
Improving access to NYC from NJ via the dilapidated tunnel is paramount to any updates that are merely for aesthetics. I spent 5 years commuting to and from NYC for work, with delays and cancellations being more common than smooth transit. Commuters deserve better! I would still work there if it weren’t for the hellish commute (16 miles between my town and the city feeling more like 50 each day).
So in other words this won’t happen. 🙄
"The railways fell out of fashion" more like "the government and automakers conspired to kill streetcars and trains"
My issue with this plan is the same as Hudson Yards. It’s going to be a flashy, glass-and-concrete ultra-modern development that costs a fortune, and the developers will have to make their money back. That means it will be reserved as office space for only the most elite corporations and any retail will either be luxury or massive chains that can afford it. There won’t be any Chinese take-outs, pubs, pizza shops, or local spots that give New York its character. It will be sterile, boring, and dead at night.
Great investment project and well worth the construction hassle. It will bring in more commuters and visitors and will be great for local businesses.

NO, the most hated train in NY is its subway system.
Great video!
I love watching your work!
I would just like to see more content covering other countries that aren’t the US.
TEAR DOWN MSG. Period.
Thank you for sharing this new train station.
The demolition of the original Penn Station was much bigger and significant than presented here.
"It should be converted to through running like London Paris…."
Euston: Terminal
Waterloo: Terminal
St Pancras International: Terminal
Kings Cross: Terminal
Victoria: Terminal
Gare d’Lyon: Terminal
Gare du Norde: Terminal
Like I agree Pen Station should be through running, but that statement is really confusing.
I love Amtrack and I feel like I’m the last of a dying breed routing for cross country train travel, but they need to be renovated as well.
Nice job! I am proud to be part of B1M family.
Stocks are good but I swapped and invested in Forex and Bitcoin trading I’ve been making good profit
really wish penn station will rethink like hong kong , singapore and the rest. all of us have good metro stations and i am sure for new york have it too!
Re-ROWted and not r?Re-ROUTED ! ooh big arms pretending to sound American…
Ironically, the Garden, in its current state, has actually been around longer than the original Penn Station was. It too is a historic site, and it too has significance. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Even if you try to rebuild Penn as it was before…it’s *not* the same. Imagine if the Chrysler Building or Radio City were destroyed, and someone tried to rebuild those, it wouldn’t be the same. There’s idealism, and then there’s reality. A lot of people and businesses would be displaced by the Rethink plan. And whatever would replace it would probably be more condos in the tens of millions each. That’s been the MO the last few decades…how would this not be different? THINK about it, logically. Think how much more wisely that $7B could be used in other ways…helping small business, bringing truly affordable housing (which used to exist in NYC), giving businesses breaks for paying their workers a higher wage. THOSE are wins that everyone can benefit from, not a Pollyanna replica of a building that was demolished 60 years ago and, quite frankly, can’t truly be replicated at any cost.
Move Madison Square Garden to Govenor’s island and create a subway from Manhattan to Staten Island running through it.
Maybe China is giving us a wake up call ? Built . Rather than bombing ? Invest in our own not in wars
So 7 bil planned, but 30 bil by the time it’s finished.
❤God bless USA, God bless,, and respect,, God new york ❤, people heart.
5:30 cannot unsee the image of a toilet bowl and tank of MSG and Penn Plaza building.
I went to Europe last August and was completely inspired by the architecture I saw, particularly in Brussels, Paris and London. While I think neofuturist architecture has its place in some parts of the world, even in New York (being a huge fan of the WTC redevelopment), I’m desperate for a revival of classical and Beaux-Arts architecture. Nothing would make me happier than seeing a new Penn Station that pays tribute to its former glory from 100 years ago. Moynihan is a bit of a step in that direction but I want to see the stone, the glass ceiling vaulted by iron columns, the lampposts, the statutes, etc.
The greedy thieves that tore down the original Penn Station should have served life in prison for what they did to NYC.
Indian students of grade 12 know the misery of the grand central station 😂
Penn Station is so confusing
The machine cuts solid stone, much better than glueing stone on concrete surfaces.
🌏🇭🇲
Melbourne is building a train tunnel Is there anyway you could do a video on it?
what they need is a time machine
b1m puts out some of the best content, bar none!
Penn station is the ugliest, hated station. Dirty, gross. Even with the cleanup. There is much to go.
I cannot believe they got rid of that beautiful original building. That is an actual crime.
It should be unceremoniously demolished- just like they did with its predecessor
I guarantee that they’ll spend all the 7 billions just at the "planning" stage
This just gets to show how impressive tokyo station really is
You should do a video on Stuttgart 21
Was that an Akatsuki? 😂
When I visited NYC and first arrived at Penn Station, it honestly felt like I was in a less developed country
No chance
"Not everybody is onboard with the current plans…." are they ever?? lol
I’ve never clicked faster
