Georgianna Dean Maybe political opposition from residential areas of the Island (noise and traffic concerns). The existing bus service and ferry should do.
The bay bed under the Verrazano, the most logical place to put a subway tunnel between SI and any of the other boros, is owned by the Port Authority, not MTA. (It's the same reason only PATH goes under the river from Manhattan to NJ) MTA would have to negotiate a lease, which would only further fill the coffers of the Port Authority.
I feel for the merchants. My barber is on 2nd and his business was cut in half. It's labor pains though. If they can get through it, the reward will be great.
Wow man that is insane taking a sofa in the train station it most be hard I imagine the people in the train saying “this two are crazy. I love New York man you see all crazy wonderful things. Timeline 6:00
***** Many reasons. Ridiculously late trains, delayed trains, lack of coordination between transfer trains (as your doors open, the transfer train doors across the platform just close and take off). Seeing sleeping MTA workers on the clock. Also their lack of ability to hammer out a sound budget and the raising of fares without any improvements. Platform doors would be nice though.
SF, a much smaller urban city, has taken 7 years to build a Central Subway that's only 1.7 miles long. They paid $10 billion for replacing part of the East Bay Bridge and that took over 10 years to build. If the city is building it expect it to take forever.
For the question: What was here before ? People would like to hear answers like: bomb shells and shelters, artifacts, arrows, shields, animal skeletons, old cemeteries, old house structures, big trees, buckets, caskets, old rails, etc., like those found in Berlin at diggings, at Istanbul and Ankara where they built museums with items inside the stations, and so on ... !
not really these areas are not really old as to having artifacts other things is mostly not important and if they really get something worth mentioning they would definitly talk about it
I wonder if those businesses think the pain is worth it now, 7 years later, with the Q bringing foot traffic and more customers to that area of 2nd Ave.

The same thing happened in Vancouver when the Canada Line to Richmond and the airport was built. Everyone thought the tunnel would be built using a tunneling machine, but instead they used the "cut and cover" method, disrupting businesses along Cambie street. A tunneling machine was used for the underwater segment and the downtown core.
A K Well they should modify the OSHA oversight rules to allow for the crews to work faster, harder, and safer, so that way, we can get projects done faster, while still maintaining safety of the workers.
Nah no need to study Shanghai metro blame unions and mta officials for it there is no need for America to learn how to build subway from China America is capable of building its just unions stopping America to
2 billion dollars for that? a mere 2,2 miles of the subway? I guess anywhere else people would smell corruption. And there is no direct subway line that runs from north to south from Queens to Brooklyn. Entire subway is built to feed Manhattan. That's a pity. No subway connection to Staten Island. Most of the cars are decades old The one I use A has coached that are from 1962. And people say New York is the unofficial capital of the world which can not properly maintain the main transportation source of its population.
pacboy I plan to rectify this with my new plans for a Queens Bypass and a new Northern Blvd subway, which would provide attractive alternatives to the Queens Blvd and Flushing Lines. With this, I am proposing replacing one or both of the Manhattan local services with full frequency G trains. Of the 24 trains, 12 would terminate at Bedford-Nostrand and the others will continue to Church Avenue.
pacboy The bypass plans have been revised from the original 1960’s plan. In my plan, I am proposing stops at 39th Street, 48th Street, 61st Street-Woodside, Grand Avenue, and 63rd Drive-Rego Park, all along the LIRR Right of way. The bypass would then shift over to Austin Street and then stop at Forest Hills-71st Avenue, and Kew Gardens-Lefferts Blvd before merging with the upper level Archer Avenue Line at Jamaica-Van Wyck. A station stop at Queens Blvd is under consideration. This would allow for more people to access the line.
I think they should just extend the g train along 125th street then expand the 2nd Avenue along 3av and throngs neck or put it on the concourse line and make another express track for the D train. Then with this extend it to bay plaza. But this can prove to be excellent since the g train could be extended to Manhattan you can have a train run to Lga.
I just don't get why so many people live in such a small space, there's a lot of room in the US to live, I live in a very rural area and it's a lot better, you don't have to deal with traffic or any of that BS, and you get plenty of peace and quiet. No neighbors running their lawn mowers at 8 in the morning, no construction work happening down the street. And of course not to mention, it's MUCH less crowded. And you don't have to worry about trains and stuff to get you to where you're going. And also, the cost of living is a lot lower. The only real downside is that in rural areas, the power and internet is pretty unreliable and you have to wake up earlier to go to work.
*laughs* so the come all living in your rural neighborhood and then you complain about all these rowdy city folk living in your area "why do they have to come here!? can't they live in cities or something?"
Luz Pavas The T will come in phase 3 of the Second Avenue Subway. As for the V, I plan to bring it back as the Culver express variant of the F. This will require the M to move to the 8th Avenue Line using a new connection between the Nassau Line and the 8th Avenue Line. With another connection between the Broadway Line and the Fulton Street Line Local tracks, The R would run between Astoria-Ditmars and Euclid Avenue with an increased frequency (15 trains per hour). With an extension of the Astoria Line to the LaGuardia Airport, and a new Subway connecting to the Jamaica El at Cypress Hills (the Elevated between these two points would be demolished), another 10-12 trains would be added to the R line, with another Astoria service, the W, taking the Jamaica Line to Jamaica Center. J service would terminate at Broadway Junction, with all Z train trips operating as J train trips. In addition, J service would also extend to 95th Street. To replace direct access between the Jamaica Avenue El stops and the Nassau Street Line, I am proposing an increase in service on the M15 bus.
Bring back the 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line in the Boggie down south Bronx Clearmount Tremont Webster Boston road Bronx and Batincal gardens Frordam plaza and Gun Hill Rd and south ferry under ground.
its funny to me.. how what they are building was already here.. with the 2 ave el.. they tor it down.. so what they can build a subway... this project started in the 1970s and still not done.. come on....
The real question is:WHY ISNT THERE A SUBWAY TO CONNECT STATEN ISLAND TO THE REST OF THE CITY YET

Bob Jersey The other question in regards to a subway in SI is where would the alignment be located.
@Long Schnozzed Tribesman Bus service should be expanded to accommodate more crowds and divert passengers to the 86th Street subway stop.
No to many crazy people coming over already

Great look at NYC transit system!

5:55 yeaaaaa when you search on internet you find a lot crazy people with couch on the subway
Mindaugas nomnom 🤣😂🤣 no way man thank for that info.
I love how the give both sides of the story
I hate how the MTA is run.
What? Because they don't have platform doors?

Blame Albany.
Eric Tsai Holding for connections during rush hour is discouraged to prevent delays. Luckily, there is always another train right behind it.
5:55 kudos to the people with a couch on the subway
when you search on internet you find a lot crazy people with couch on the subway
I hate how phase 2 isn't going anywhere yet there's already huge segments of existing track (96-105 st, 110-120 st)
It should not take very long to do it since the existing sections will help progress the building
pacboy Without 116th Street, East Harlem would not be well served.
We are gonna act like we didn't see that couple haul their couch on the train just as if it was a piece of Nugget.

I wish RUclips had a video sound program to sync video volumes
I ❤ NY
Great video ;)
2018 says hello, we want the 2nd ave subway we were promised.
I wonder if those businesses think the pain is worth it now, 7 years later, with the Q bringing foot traffic and more customers to that area of 2nd Ave.
Toyko does this all the time...so it's really not that crazy. NYC subway is totally outdated and there has been little innovation since 100 years ago.
Tokyo subway has half as many stations and track miles.

Well that's without the JR or Private railway lines that go through the subway lines

Study the construction of the Shanghai Metro system, the world's largest and one of the newest. Lesson: Build Fast, 24/7. Get it done.
Unreliable Narrator 66 But with less loss of life.
A K So you are okay with safety issues at the construction sites?
A K Well they should modify the OSHA oversight rules to allow for the crews to work faster, harder, and safer, so that way, we can get projects done faster, while still maintaining safety of the workers.
Nah no need to study Shanghai metro blame unions and mta officials for it there is no need for America to learn how to build subway from China America is capable of building its just unions stopping America to
The nyc subway is also 24/7
I'd be scared sh_t to set off those explosives with all that weight of the buildings on top.
so they almost done 2016!!!!
+Fall_ OutXC Sooooooo close, yet soooooooooo far.
