Re: The reason NYC stopped building subways

I also think that part of the cessation of new subway construction in NYC is the drying up of Federal funds that were used to build many of the IND lines during the 1930s. Of course WWII put an end to much of it too, but after the war, there was no longer any desire on the part of the Feds to contribute any more to NYC’s transit infrastructure.
