Since the northbound Lexington Av lines typically "empty out a bit" at 86th and 96th Street, hopefully this will help keep people off them.

Why are NYC's construction costs so insanely high for mass transit?

while this will never happen at a regular station for 'the people,' i would not put it past the woolworth bldg redevelopers to try to redo something like that as an amenity for their nouveau riche tenants -- i believe that bldg once had its own subway entrance. as if they would ever use the subway. ha. |

It's no different than the financial hurdles LA's facing trying to get the money to get the Purple Line that runs on Wilshire Blvd to the Pacific Ocean. |

Mass transit is incredibly expensive in LA too, but our costs are much more in line with the rest of the world (at about 2x what other countries pay). |

http://nycsubway.org.s3.amazonaws.co...ubways063b.jpg As you can see they just dug up the whole street and put the subway right under the road. These days we don't do that at all. NIMBYs would never in a million years let you tear up a whole street like this. Instead we have to use TBMs and deep mined stations which cost far more than cut and cover. When you add that to the fact that union labor makes ~$100/hr in wages and benefit (not even including overtime) it's pretty clear why expenses are so high. I work in New Jersey and our union chiefs make $200,000 a year, I bet a lot of these NYC workers are making even more. |
