Re: VIDEO: R46s Operating on the G and N Lines

Also from the perspective of someone without the slightest bit of professional transit experience, but a lifetime of riding it and 20-odd years of using the internet...

The feeling I get from talking with people who have worked in the system, as well as what I read "between the lines" on the MTA site and what I know of the utter corruption in government capital contracting, is that the whole CBTC thing is completely unnecessary. Couldn't we all have gotten better bang for the buck with Byford's SPEED program? Eliminate unnecessary timers, properly set those that really are needed, and then just properly maintain the system- signals, rails, and structures? Wouldn't that be enough to give people a reasonably functional system?
