To be fair, the NYC subway trains are huge by global standards. Huge trains need huge stations with at least two exits. This is a big reason why the Second Ave. costs are so high - they're basically building Crossrail as compared to the much smaller subway stations on nearly ever other metro system in the world. The NYC stations are so long that the two entrances can almost act like two different subway stations.
