Of course you don’t put benches there.

I'm not following. Why not? This is clearly a place where people gather and then wait for a period of time long enough to feel that sitting is necessary. Provide a fucking place for them to sit, it's not complicated

There's a platform for trains, with benches down the middle. But the edges are open for people to walk around

That is dangerous in NYC. Penn/Moynihan Station is a terminating station. I'm guessing over 60% of the train capacity often unloads at Penn/Moynihan Station (assuming NE corridor from DC with stops in philly and other towns along the way). You can't have passengers waiting to board obstruct that many people disembarking on a narrow platform. You're thinking of suburban train stations that just quickly pass through, not a major urban station. Also, because it's amtrak there's a lot of luggage being carried which needs more space. Not to mention room for dedicated luggage service to move bags to baggage claim.

I personally pictured the Hoboken PATH station specifically. However on the opposite end of the scale I was very surprised at the lack of seating in the new WTC station
