No one has provided proof of such, which I have requested, and which you do not have. I'm willing to learn here if I am in fact wrong, but do not treat me like an idiot. If you don't have the requisite information to back up your assertions, then they have no merit. At least I have tried to find what information I could to support my argument. You are treated as your arguments deserve. *I* do not have the facts on dollar for dollar costs of your concept vs construction to GCT. The mere *fact* that the MTA chose GCT should be prima facia evidence that that routing was indeed the more cost effective. COMPARE: Both plans require construction in the Sunnyside Yards (PUSH) Both plans require the construction of some sort of 8 track station. (PUSH) Both plans require some construction of tunnels in Manhattan. (PUSH) The GCT Plan uses the existing 63rd Street Tunnel. (No Cost) The NYP Plan requires the construction of a new East River Tunnel. (HUGE COST) ROAR
