    I think it is more of a “this won’t work because traffic in New York is too bad.”

    Which is like…yeah? That’s kind of why the metro desperately needs an upgrade, so more people can use it and prevent the gridlock?

      I agree.

      It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario.

      These stations need to be upgraded, repaired, and overhauled, but it’s not as simple as “close these stations down and invent a magical bus system for the time bieng”. It’s an extremely sensitive situation and I don’t feel like people are understanding. It’s not that it shouldn’t happen, but the level of disruption would be catastrophic for thousands of people. It’s a bad situation.
