Manhattan is large enough to have a bus terminal. It's large enough for both Penn Station and Grand Central (with a little left over for the PATH terminal and Fulton Transit Center). Yeah, I know, a lot of you may not ride or care about the bus service. But there are many, many people who do. And no, you can't reason with me on this one.

Sometimes, there are other interests more important to the city than the value of real estate.
