It's not, though. The whole idea of Penn South is idiotic. Gateway can and should be built with no additional platforms at Penn. Then Penn would have 4 tracks in, and 4 tracks out, which would be ideal if NJT could send more trains to Sunnyside to turn around. Who knows, maybe they might eventually figure out that it's way more efficient to run one train from New Jersey to Long Island instead of two trains that both terminate at Penn.
Instead of spending billions to acquire more Manhattan real estate for Penn South, use the money to extend the 7 to Secaucus and built a new bus terminal there.
