Yeah, agree that Suburban is designed much better. Even at rush hour it's easier to get around and figure out where you're going. And I think you're right; Penn's waiting area is what takes the station from merely bad to horrendous.

One of the other layout problems I have noticed with the PEnn Station waiting room is that none of the seats seemed to be laid out to actually face the train arrival monitors. If I am sitting and want to check status I have to usually get up and move to look at a screen.
