Getting cross town after getting off of at Penn Station is a huge pain in the ass. Access to GCT via LIRR opens up a lot of alternate routes and connects LIRR to MNR and the respective subways that connect to GCT. It also means that the outer rims of Queens and much of Long Island will have better access to the eastern half of Midtown Manhattan.

It’s also the fact that it’s a work commute for a lot of people going to the midtown east area. Saving 20 mins every morning if your commute is an hour is huge. Probably enough to win over some people who’d otherwise drive in.

Shuttle train (S train) goes between GCT and Times Square frequently.
