    Avoid the crowd - use the stairway near the 31st and 8th exit to quickly board an NJ Transit train.

    Amtrak men's bathroom is worst designed I've ever seen. All foot traffic bottlenecks at narrow sink & hand dryer lined entrance.

    Train stations get allocated 10-15 mins before departure - as long as you are there by then you wii get your train :). Buying a ticket using the amtrak app on the way to the station is a fly..
