So...What do these things cost. Who is going to pay for it. Sure it is a capitol expense, but with Obama on the way out (praised be to God) nobody is going to get any funding for this from the Fed. Remember if the FED pays for it, it must be done for all subway systems in the country, not just for NYC. It the state of New York could afford it people would complain that money was not being spent for their pet projects and so politicians run the risk on not getting elected. Ditto the City, if the city were to do it they would have to raise taxes somewhere else, and more businesses will move to New Jersey, Atlanta or China. The MTA *could* afford to do it on their own hook, but then fares would have to go up to $10.00 a ride, and so nobody would ride, and there would be no point in doing it, AND the people (Blessed be the name of the People) would BITCH and none of the politicians would ever be re-elected again (Which might be a good thing.)
