It's not too hard to believe, since the MTA first started, all they've ever done was make an extension there, a connection to a line there, demolish another line but not once in the MTA, NYCTA, or TA's history have they built a brand new subway line.As of the way things are going now, LRT is the only option and I'm not really a LRT-fan either it's becoming more and more appearant that LRT may be the only way to go if we ever want a brand new line. If you were to keep the North Shore branch of the SIR as heavy rail, you would have to consider the price of new train cars because there's no way that all 64 cars can be shared amongst both lines. That's one major factor right there why LRT is a perfect candidate. |
