Re: SAS Extention to 125th Street Will Cost $4.3 BILLION Per Mile

the extension will likely increase ridership.

A typical misconception from reading MTA proposal statements.

Here are the results for the 96th St extension from NYMTC's Hub Based Travel Reports for 2016 (before SAS) and 2019 (after SAS) Tables 14A, 14B and 14C.

All it did was re-arrange the deck chairs.

Assuming an extension would result in a different outcome would fall under Einstein's definition.
