NYP is a textbook example of poor design, at least as to Amtrak (I have never taken NJ Transit or LIRR, but those are probably just as inefficient).
Never took LIRR, but NJ Transit is the same thing, but just in a different part of the station. Everyone stands around, or sits on the floor!, and waits for an announcement. Then total chaos as everyone runs for the gate.
