The upscale crowd doesn't like the audio/visual clutter.
There's nothing tunnels do that well planned overhead infrastructure can't do more cheaply (at the cost of being audible and visible).
Edit: Since I'm being down-voted, other than being less offending to the eyes/ears of non-users, what do tunnels do that overhead infrastructure doesn't?
- reaperducer 7y agoCheaply ≠ better.
- rayiner 7y agoYes it does! Cost directly affects how much transit you can build. If it didn’t cost New York 5x as much money to build a mile of track as it does London or Paris, New York could build five times as much track for the same fares/taxes.
