Reasons such as this is whats choking New York City. If New York Cuiy had a much more expanded mass transit system, you wouldn't need all these express buses. In addition, all of the cars that travel within the CBD.Again, it wasn't just NY not expanding transit, most cities were not at the time unfortunately. Cars, buses, and things on tires are what were being expanded, not things on rails. If Robert Moses had used that money for mass transit projects, he would have done something good in the long run. Not other city was spending money en mass on transit either. Not just NY. NYC would not be the city it is today without it's bridges and highways. They were necessary. Once the car was invented, it was inevidable. NYC would have choked on small local roads, while other cities instead expanded. Everything you use today, from the computer you bought at Best Buy (example), to the food you eat came in on an interstate highway, and crossed bridges, etc to get here. You need roads for that. |
