There need not be a reason per se. If there were funds to get to 179th then you would get there. If after getting there or while approaching getting there, one learns that you won't get all the way to 188th you can still finish 179th, even if it's not the biggest of intersections at street level.Building 179th allows, for example, for short-turns of bus routes as appropriate at 179th for subway access, rather than continuing west to 169th. If/when there are more "doomsday" cuts due to finances, you can turn many/all of the Eastern Queens / Nassau buses at 179th rather than bringing them in as far as 169th. There doesn't have to be a specific reason why they stopped at 179th. That may just be as far as they got. |
