I am not going to bother answering your ridiculous comments except to say the following regarding how long it takes to get out of the Hudson Yards Station.

I previously stated 7 or 8 minutes and several said that was ridiculous and someone said it can be done in two minutes. Upon questioning he admitted he walked up the escalator. That is not how you calculate how long it takes.

So today I returned to the station and timed myself. I arrived at 1:30 PM. I took the elevator up which was waiting for me. I arrived at the long escalator at 1:32. The escalate took about 90 seconds. I arrived on the street in about 4:45. Also, consider, last time I waited 2 minutes for the elevator so it took longer like 6:45 and I had to walk further to the elevator so it took 7 to 8 minutes which was I previously stated, so I was perfectly correct.

Now if someone happens to be in the last car, you can add another minute. If you use the inclinators, you can add additional time. I heard they are very slow.

Of course if you don't want to wait for the platform elevator and you don't mind walking up the two flights and you are in the correct car to minimize the amount of walking, you can reduce the 4:45 to 4 minutes and if you walk up the escalator, you can do it in 3. If you walk fast up the four or five flights of escalator steps, I suppose you can do it in under three minutes. But my 7 to 8 minutes was perfectly correct as I described what I did. Bottom line: you can do it between 2 minutes and a fraction and about 10 minutes with the inclinators.
