"Network connection planning doesn't happen very well, because planning tends to be mode specific (in silos). This results in missed opportunities for creating a more integrated transit system."
"Though these two services come within about a mile of one another, passengers will not be able to transfer between them, reflecting the region's siloed approach to transit network planning."
The separation of the Interborough Express (IBX) and Penn Station Access projects reflects a siloed approach to transit planning. Originally envisioned as a single line, these projects now operate independently, preventing passenger transfers despite their proximity. This fragmentation highlights the limitations of current transit planning, which often focuses on individual modes rather than creating a cohesive regional network. Improved connections between various transit modes are essential for maximizing the potential of these projects and enhancing overall transit efficiency in the region.
