[BugsyPal]

That number is for openers; if anything like Eastside Access and original SAS expect things to double or more before all is said and done.

$8,000,000,000 works out to approx:


$2,666,666,667 per station,

$5,333,333,333 / mile,
$1,010,101 / foot,
$84,175 / inch.

People simply don't comprehend size of these numbers.

We're talking about a 25% shy of one *trillion* dollars to build a handful of stations, extend tunnel, lay tracks, and so on.

The MTA is a joke of an organization and is purely a jobs program at this point.

Maybe a few of the usual clowns on this forum will come and chime in on how hard the MTA has it and why these costs are always justified.

The costs are one thing. However, even with these egregious costs, the MTA can't ever get anything done on time either.

This should be and would be criminal in any sane society.

More like the city needs to force an audit on the MTA.
