An amusing thing about this proposal is that it comes only a few weeks after De Blasio’s plan to put a light rail along the Brooklyn/Queens waterfront.
Though it would personally benefit me greatly, I must confess that it would mostly be a convenience for yuppies who can afford to live along the water. This Triboro would benefit people who need better transportation.

The Triboro RX proposal has been around for a much longer time than De Blasio's light rail thing. Here's an article about it from 2013: http://www.citylab.com/commute/2013/07/transit-project-new-y...
As a New Yorker, I'll be stunned if anything comes of this "plan" except hundreds of billions of dollars wasted and endless hours of sitting in traffic while I pass construction areas filled with equipment and completely devoid of workers or activity.
