Given the current costs for NYC to expand its subway, about 500 miles of track
given the current costs per mile.
- actionfromafar 1y agoThat sounds great actually.
- triceratops 1y agoThe entire NYC subway, the busiest system in the country, has 660 miles of track. NYC has a GDP of $1.3tn and the subway system has a big hand in making that possible. So that's actually a pretty good RoI. It'll go a lot further (haha!) in a less expensive city. But that also goes back to the original comment about spending the surplus wisely.
