All of the evening trains are at off times. People who leave work at 5pm have to wait until 5:45pm to catch a train, which leaves 45 minutes of travel time between one’s office and Penn Station. Those who leave work at 530pm have to wait until 6:18pm, which leaves 48 minutes of travel time between one’s office and Penn Station.
It’s safe to say that no one needs more than 25 to 30 minutes to get to Penn Station. Therefore, a schedule whereby trains leave at 5:30pm and 6:00pm would really be more ideal.
Let’s look at it another way. Someone leaves work at 5pm, takes the 545pm train and travels 45 minutes into Montclair. Say a modest 10 minute walk or drive back to their house and if the train left on time and actually arrived on time that commuter just spent nearly 2 hours getting home. That's ridiculous!
