Realistically, we shouldn't build anything big in NY. The costs are out of control, insanely slow, and wildly unpredictable. No one even knows where the money goes. https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/comparative-subway-construction-costs-revised/ https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/comp... https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/us-rail-construction-costs/ https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/us-r... http://www.wsj.com/article_email/mtas-costs-loom-large-1468803446-lMyQjAxMTE2OTE0ODAxODg5Wj http://www.wsj.com/article_email/mtas-costs-loom-large-14688... What we should do is focus on a completing few small projects with time and budget constraints comparable to the rest of the world (e.g. Spain, Hong Kong or Delhi). This should be done with the goal of excluding all the current people who are robbing us blind (i.e. no MTA workers); bring in French, Japanese or Indian contractors as needed. Once we can build and maintain a transit system at reasonable cost, then we should think about big projects. Until then, why throw good money after bad?
