New York City's subway system gonna be lit in 2020, peep how its gonna look after overhaul

[Mr. Jack Napier]

THIS!!!!!

There are so many places without a damn subway in nyc shyt is crazy!!!

Any other line extensions probably won't happen anytime soon. It took them 8 years for them to extend the 7 line from Times Square to 34th & 11th Avenue (and 2 years late), and they had to scrap an additional station that was in the plans originally, but it started to get too expensive.

The $2.42 billion, 1.5-mile extension of the

Line to 34 St-11 Av was funded by the City of New York. City funding included $2.1 billion for the station in addition to $266 million for other non-subway related infrastructure work. The MTA contributed $53 million for the extension, helping spur the development and transformation of the rezoned far West Side. It is the first new station added to the subway system since MTA New York City Transit opened the Lexington Av-63 St, Roosevelt Island, and 21 St-Queensbridge stations in 1989.

The city spent 2.4 billion for one extra stop

its insane. queens has it the worst. if you live east of the jamaica stops , which a ton of people do, you're looking at a 1.5-2 hour commute into the city. you gotta have a car in a lot of hoods in queens and the bronx basically. and they are making it less friendly for drivers with crazy tolls, bike lanes, less parking, etc...

If you dont live near jamaica ave.... You are fukked you gotta take a bus the long way in....

Just look at the fukking blank empty spots what the fukk man?!!? You telling me I gotta take a bus out to the boonies that might not even make it. there's no fukking excuse there should be some sort of interconnected railway system for the boonies and blank spots....

they gotta update the cars so they can remain two decades behind Euro subway systems.

once wifi hits those trains will never be empty

Fix/improve the infrastructure first before adding new cars. I waited a 45 minutes for a R train train because of some bullshyt.

exactly man..wtf. plus in the bx you gotta circle everything east of the 6 line. and up where co op city is.

its not like no one lives in these places either. some of these places you circled have a ton of people living there.

i just did a quick google search and found over 40,000 people live in co-op city alone you mean to tell me they'll drop a billion dollars so the fukkin ADS can look better and we can browse the internet, but they dont wanna extend the 6 train up further to serve an amount of people that rivals the population of an entire (small) city?

fukk the mta man. mostly fukk cuomo too

No chance it's completed on time.

I'm still surprised we dont have any type of trolley system or airtrain for the places without subway service which is still bullshyt...

This is why the Q44 is the worst bus route in queens. Too many nikkas trying to get to archer

those digital ads better not have fukkin audio capability and i really pray they dont let companies/corporations sponsor stops. having entire stops be a massive fukkin ad. city of ads, cops and cameras...great

2020 is only 4 years away. 2050 is more realistic with how the mta moves.

gangway cars are gonna be sick though, theres a possibility they'll have gangway cars for the 2nd ave line

instead of giving people wifi and digital ads, they should use some of this money to extend lines or build new ones so the massive amount of people cut off from the subway in a lot of areas of queens and the bronx can get service. its fukkin ridiculous. we dont need wifi,,,we need more trains and less overcrowding. in the last 10 years the trains have gotten so crowded its insane. the system cant handle the amount of people. plus you got neighborhoods completely cut off from mta. look at rochdale village...about 8000 people live there and im sure half of them commute to the city..no train there. mta should figure out how to handle the current problems before they add some fancy maps, ads and usb ports and pretend like its all good

Right here brotha. I'd have to wait for the gotdamn q 111 near my house and that damn stop is limited now so less buses come by just to get to the subway
As far as the crowdedness spot on as well it's ridiculous and God forbid ac isn't working in a specific train

Just in time for gentrification
