The MTA gradually lost interest in the line..wanted to abandon it and the 63rd st tunnel completly..but was forced by the FEDS to either complete the routes..OPERATE them..or return EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR and CENT used to build them. Well..you know the MTA wasnt going to give back anything..so they reluctantly choose to open the Archer first..even though the route would not serve the targeted areas[South Jamaica/Queens Village] the lines were built for. |
