The MTA board will vote Wednesday on a set of rules of conduct for Grand Central Madison Terminal.
Donate NowCommuters and visitors lucky enough to find a bench at the recently opened Grand Central Madison station will only get to sit down for an hour-and-a-half.for Grand Central Madison Terminal — including one that would limit the amount of time commuters can sit on benches to 90 minutes. People will also not be allowed to lie down on the benches or anywhere on the station, so as to not “block free movement of another person,” or sit on the platforms, stairs, tables, counters or landings.
“This is an existing rule for Grand Central Terminal that was adopted for the Grand Central Madison Rules of Conduct to ensure there is one set of rules for one building,” MTA Spokesperson Michael Cortez said. “A customer should not have to wait more than 90 minutes to catch their train, barring a significant service disruption.”
“The rules are clearly aimed at homeless New Yorkers, there's no question about it,” said Dave Giffen, executive director of the Coalition for the Homeless. “Sitting on a bench when you're tired is a pretty simple ask and putting rules in place that are designed specifically to keep people who have no place else to go from sitting down and resting is just cruel and inhumane.”
