Tracks 5-6 and 7-8

NJ Transit has a good idea of how many people ride each of their lines. They have the info through who’s buying what tickets and passes to where. There’s also the guy with a clicker who is often keeping tabs of rider counts and yet they completely ignore the reality that there are a lot (A LOT) of riders on the Midtown Direct trains and continue put the train on tracks 5 or 6 and 7 or 8 where there are less entries to get down to the platform. It’s like mass pandemonium trying to get down to the track level on these platforms. It’s unsafe and inefficient.
