Whether or not enough people would be interested in non-Manhattan commuting to justify large amounts of capital and operating expenditures to make it practical is another story.It's THE story, if there are other projects that would benefit more people - especially those NYC residents who do not enjoy subway access. I do think that in an ideal world we would have at least one subway line that ran from Brooklyn to Queens to the Bronx, perhaps some sort of outer loop that would also serve as a feeder to the Manhattan trunk lines. But I just spent $20- $50 billion in one sentence, The question is where the first $5 billion should be spent to have its biggest impact. The engineering solution is to look for projects that benefit more than 2.4% of the commuting public. |
