Outside the Grand Central Terminal in New York City
It seems that you can’t really walk very far and not find something interesting in New York City. Not too far from the Chrysler Building, I came upon another New York City landmark. This time it is related to transportation and what better landmark than a railway station. The Grand Central Terminal as the name implies is a large central station for the New York subway as well as the New York railway lines. For a city as large and as bus as New York city, it would need a very efficient mass transit system to bring people around. Just having cars won’t cut it since land is so limited and traffic will just come to a standstill if everyone drove. So far, I haven’t seen the New York traffic, which I supposed means that the transit system works.
Going to the Main Concourse of the Grand Central Terminal in New York City
The station has its roots from 1871 where a station also once stood. In the early 1900s the modern station began to take shape and a massive terminal for the trains serving the city. Over the years, there have been expansions to the terminal but it has largely remained the same. It is used by almost a hundred million passengers a year. That is an incredible capacity for a transportation hub probably in line with some airport terminals. As you might expect, the area around Grand Central Terminal is very busy, but I will still take a look.
