^Yep.
There have been a handful of crybaby naysayers trying to make the claim that ESA doesn't really save all that much time for an East Side destination versus a departure @ Penn and subway trek back east once you figure how long it takes to get out of the terminal from the deep station. Hogwash. They were walking like they were strolling in the park and they were starting from 49th St at the far northern edge of the station and exiting at 42nd St after making a point to head right through the heaviest crowds. Some claimed 18 minutes to get from the platform, up the escalators, south down the new concourse and up and out through the 42 St door of GCT. This apparently is competitive with a reverse subway ride from Penn or so they claim. But this completely ignores exiting perpendicular to the new station through one of the new entrance lobbies in the office buildings to get to their destinations. In reality you can make that trip in about 5-6 minutes depending on people traffic.
