Just days after a subway derailment in Harlem, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he will be signing an executive order declaring a state of emergency for the MTA.
The governor made the announcement Thursday at the Genius Transit Challenge Conference, an international competition with a $1 million prize to come up with solutions to improve the transit system’s reliability.

I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

We have lots of infrastructure issues in LA also. Our gas, water, and sewer lines are a mess. There's tons of work going on to get them fixed, but it's pretty much a continuous project going forward. By the time they fix the ones the current crappy ones, they'll have to start over again.Hokie CPA wrote:Here's an article describing the problem...

Chicago is one city that's actually doing a pretty good job of infrastructure maintenance. Now, if they could get rid of that pesky murder thing...

To their credit, they have become really good at propping the system up. But as has been pointed out, entire lines need to be shut down and repaired from the ground up. Major components of the system are just too old.HokieJoe wrote:Zip ties are amazing!
They are shutting down the L train between bklyn and manhattan, but I understand that is for Sandy repairs.

I have the displeasure of riding BART every day. It was built around 1970 and has the same trains as the Metro in DC. Imagine if the dumbest guys from your high school ran a major metropolitan area transit system. You would end up with BART.
