SFO's problem is the way the connection is set up. They have an "Air Train" that hits every terminal, but you have to haul over to the BART station.

They should've built it out to the Milbrae station to directly connect with CalTrain and BART and stop splitting the BART services at the end of the line. It'd also hook right up with the new HSR line as well. Super Short sighted.

Even just putting in something nice in those empty lots would do wonders, but I get the feeling there's some prohibitive costs associated with brownfield reclamation, because that' absolutely prim real estate (major train stop, two exit ramps from 95, walk to the waterfront...)

Walk in to Penn from 7th ave under the MSG sign. Walk dead straight past the NJT stuff to where the Amtrak waiting room area is (was? haven't been on the train in a while).

Before you get to the oval you have to walk around, there is a Wells Fargo ATM, and next to it an ancient CRT monitor with trains and tracks. Go down the stairs there to the lower level once you find your track, and there you can take the middle corridor (Hilton Corridor?) to the stairs nearer you than Moynihan.

See this map. It's the third map as you walk into the station, then the 4th one when you get downstairs. Handicapped elevators are a good trick, too.
