I’ve never seen anyone get so mad at a subway extension lol 💀

Grifter gonna grift

Construction costs definitely need to go down. One huge change would be having everything done in house rather than subcontract everything.

That being said, these improvements are typically very beneficial. There isn’t the same scrutiny made toward highway widenings and expansion.

And tbh they’re not even pretty. With that money we should be getting Moscow level decoration at least.

Well right now it’s a mix of appointees from the governor, mayor, borough presidents, and county execs from the surrounding counties, and some union reps.

The governor has the power to appoint a chairman so they have the most influence, but in general it seems like most of these board members aren’t super familiar with the subway system or represent other interests.

The subway needs to expand it’s lines in Queens farther East (7, F, E, J) and upzone next to those stops.

Also, real BRT with dedicated lanes should be a thing in this city already.

It’s way more dangerous and inefficient to travel by car in a city.

If you want that kind of lifestyle, there are several options in the US outside NYC.

Cuomo was the main culprit but I feel like the board isn’t really much better and is filled with political appointees who don’t have much interest in transit improvements.

r/nyc whenever public schools ask for funding: 😡

r/nyc when corporations take money from the local government, displace public schools, and then charge those public schools to operate there: 🥰

Crony capitalism at its finest

I think after seeing how much of shitshow the MTA leadership and board is he decided never to work there again.

Escape from Staten Island unsuccessful

Door handles sold separately

Poor guy can’t even buy a cup of coffee with 150K.

The 2 cars seems like a big expense in the city

At the very least they should pedestrianize the rest of Broadway from South Ferry to 59th St

Gangs gonna gang

It’s more that the independent contractors and consultants that the MTA hires charge absurd amounts. If the MTA kept on more staff for large projects and did everything in-house you would have lower costs.

It should not cost this much. Although it seems like it’s that 125th St Station under the 4:5/6 that is pushing up the estimate.

George Santos swindled Bernie Madoff

Absolutely shocked 😂

I don't have any issue with people getting public assistance when they need it. However, it seems to be a trend not just with Santos but with many Republicans who will use government programs then try to destroy those same programs. It makes sense to call out that hypocrisy.
