The BQX shouldn't exist at all. None of the parallel bus lines are anywhere near crowded, and the parallel subway line could easily have the car lengths and train frequency doubled.

Even the city's own, goosed up business case looks poor. The conversation has shifted from "let's fund this with only property taxes" to "let's fund this with public money because this will never pay for itself."

What do you mean by car lengths? I thought all nyc subway trains had the same # of cars
