Still a ridiculous idea to tell people traveling from one point on the Queens/Brooklyn waterfront area to another, to go to Manhattan and back.Whether public money should be used to create a direct public transit route should depend on how many people make that journey, how far that journey is and the existing alternatives. The BQX flunks all three criteria. The $2.5 billion should be used on projects for which people don't have an existing subway line within 1/2 mile of their residence, links to a point that better matches their journey to work and for which that journey is longer than 4 miles. There are plenty of areas and potential customers who meet these criteria. |
