A private real estate developer built the elevator at that entrance for $10 million.

Big brain.

Reading comprehension is your passion, huh?

"The MTA said that the new entranceway cost a total of $40 million, with $30 million coming from the agency and $10 million, for the new elevators, paid by Jamestown Properties, the company that owns One Times Square."

So , anyway, they spent $30 million on a stairway. Thirty. million.dollars.

My comment was in support of your comment - the MTA needs to spend $30m on a stair case while a private company can build an elevator for 1/3 of the cost.

Chill out. No need to be so antagonistic.
