Re: Amazon ditching plans for NYC office

Then, too, the 7 train is already running at capacity, and cannot absorb 25,000 new riders every day.

This shouldn't be on OTChat. :)

If Amazon hires 25,000 workers, only a small fraction would come to work on the 7 train from Flushing (the crowded direction). 6 of 8 rapid transit approaches to LIC (all except the westbound 7 and E/F) still have the potential for added capacity.

It's quite possible that the subsidies were way higher than reasonable, making Amazon a bad deal. But we shouldn't invent transit-related issues that don't exist.
