I've never been to New York and I've don't know much about the subway system but I was watching a documentary recently that showed they were building some new platforms underneath Grand Central station. I think from memory they were also building new lines to cope with the massive stress the service is under, so it looks like these problems are trying to be resolved?
- matt4077 9y agoThat's a different problem. They're building a new line, yes. But the problems are more with the reliability of the existing infrastructure.
- lmm 9y agoFrom the article it sounds like a big problem is politicians are (for understandable reasons) happy to allocate money for new platforms or new lines, but not allocating enough funding to the maintenance and signalling that keeps the trains running.
- a_c_s 9y agoGrand Central is having new platforms built for the Long Island Railroad (LIRR), which is a commenter train system that is separate from the subway system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side_Access https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Side_Access
