While JFK was assassinated in Dallas, and a conspiracy theory persists, here in New York I believe there is no conspiracy theory about the NYC operated subway wanting to siphon off traffic from the privately run BMT line. The city built the subways for the purpose of development of real estate values, and to raise the tax base to support the city provided services needed to foster commercial success.Believe what you wish, NYC always had an option to buy out the privately run transit companies that used the city built subway tunnels. Running the privates into the ground to make it less expensive to purchase, possibly, but not to put them out of business in the manner of transit fan folklore. |
