Re: 40% of LIRR Manhattan Passengers now using Grand Central Madison

when your train gets held at a timepoint for 5-6 minutes at Times Square which is a serious problem on the 2 and 3.

One strategy the MTA has used to improve terminal-to-terminal on time performance has been to pad schedules. Initially, this took the form of adding a 4 or 5 minute holding time at the next to last station. They have varied their technique a bit by varying which station the use for the holding time. It's been a long time since I calculated the percentage holding time is of run time.
