Posted by Joe V on Wed Aug 19 07:24:23 2015, in response to What's the obsession with making the subway go EVERYWHERE?, posted by ElectricTraction on Tue Aug 18 20:49:53 2015. 1) It was politically incorrect at the time to spend city money on a bankrupt RR whose top management and Board of Directors was really the PRR, who could not be more disinterested. The LURR was also philosophically opposed to serving Queens and that mentality went right into the 1980's. Their fare structure still shows it. An OFF peak fare between Zone 1 and 3 of $7.25 is ridiculous.3) #7 would be good cost avoidance of spending money on rebuilding and expanding PABT. The XBL does not work well anymore. Either way, it is $10 Billion. It also gives NJT rail passengers an option to avoid NYPS and Times Square to get to GCT and take about the same time with one net transfer eliminated. |
