Reply to comment by Speedyx in Grand Central Madison, 15 stories underground, saves LIRR riders little time compared to Penn Station commute by bikeskata

The fact that our 3 (or 4) major regional rail systems are still behaving like they're private operators in competition instead of a single unified system is a disgrace

Build the T-REX already you cowards!

I wish I didn’t see that. Now I’ll dream of something that’ll never happen.

you know, everything infra-wise that gets built was an RPA proposal at some point. they never talk about that, or how there are these grand, inspiring plans for the region they're cribbing from. the tri(bi)-boro, east side access, gateway, the metro-north expansion in the east bronx, etc, all part of the RPA's set of transit related suggestions going back decades

So who knows, maybe we'll get an overpriced, watered-down version of this sometime before 2070
