Relevant to this article, the New York Times did a really great expose on the 2nd Ave Subway back in 2017, appropriately titled The Most Expensive Mile of Subway Track on Earth, well worth a read as everything in it is still relevant to this day: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/28/nyregion/new-york-subway-construction-costs.html

Worked on that job, 2nd Ave, (design companies)someone walked away with a lot of money and no one was accountable.

Workers loved me, (MTA) but corrupt company (Design Firms) management replaced me with an incompetent, figured they had an excuse to get rid of me, laid me off after my mom died! Someone really disliked good accountability and compliant behavior.

My manager was let go some years later, he was also a great engineer.
