A new entrance is now open at Pennsylvania Station to ease foot traffic for commuters.
The New Jersey Transit entrance at 31st Street and 7th Avenue in Midtown features escalators, an elevator, and stairs.
Riders previously shared the Amtrak entrance.
"It allows people coming into the city from New Jersey for work or to go to play better access, as well as people from New York going to the Giants or Jets games or work or other events to get to New Jersey easier," said Executive Director Richard Sarles of NJ Transit.
"I'm delighted not to have to walk through Penn Station to get out of NJ Transit," said a commuter.
"It definitely saves me at least a few minutes," said another.
The new entrance cost more than $19 million and took two years to build.
