A major benefit for Manhattan-bound Bronx commuters is that commutes through existing MTA lines to Penn Station that take an hour or longer will now be cut down significantly. According to MTA officials, average travel times will be reduced to 16 minutes from Hunts Point, 20 minutes from Parkchester, and 25-28 minutes from Morris Park and Co-op City stations.
“Communities that have been overlooked for far too long will finally get justice,” said Hochul. “We no longer have to say people of the Bronx will be relegated to a transit desert, and will have access to good-paying jobs.” The federal bipartisan infrastructure bill, signed into law last year, opened up the opportunity, as both projects can tap into $30 billion in federal funds allocated for Northeast rails.
