The state of public transit to/from LaGuardia is terrible, but unfortunately it's hard to imagine any notable subway expansion happening any time soon given Byford's recent resignation (in the face of Cuomo's constant meddling) and the constant back and forth bickering between Cuomo and de Blasio.
- m_ke 7y agoI agree, I don't think there's a chance of that actually happening. There were some rumors that Andrew Yang might run for governor in NYC, would actually be interesting to see him run for Cuomo's seat. A competent governor would unify the MTA, NJ Path and LIRR under one system and potentially add a few extra stops in Queens.
- smogcutter 7y agoThe problem for a guy like Yang is that Albany is such a cesspool, it’s hard for an outsider to know what levers to pull to get anything done. But electing insiders just perpetuates the cesspool-ness, and around we go. I’ve been out of the state for 10+ years so maybe things have changed, but I’m not optimistic.
