Re: VHB lands contract for environmental review of proposed Brooklyn Queens Connector

They should build new streetcar lines to transit-starved areas.

The "transit-starved areas" or transit deserts lie mostly beyond the terminals of the existing subway lines. The problem is that areas around these subway line terminals are already clogged with surface traffic.

Much of this traffic is buses. Adding streetcars to the surface traffic mix isn't going to speed up the trips any more than substituting buses for streetcars did 70+ years ago.
