Holy crap. eliminating subway lines, cutting 2700 jobs, and increasing fares and tolls 23%?!

How much WAS the budget shortfall?!

Responses:

When they say "eliminating subway lines", does that mean tunnels and stations that will get abandoned and shuttered? -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 08:40 3
- no, the lines in question already overlap other routes. they won't be shuttering any tunnels or stations. -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 08:41 2
  - So I'll have to look elsewhere to build my secret underground lair? -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 08:44 1
    - oh there's still plenty of abandoned stations and tunnels from earlier days -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 08:46

    - kind of, there's no middle express track, trains just serve every other stop during rush hours. - znufrii Nov 20, 08:44 5

        exactly. all of those lines have separate express tracks to bypass skipped stops. - znufrii Nov 20, 08:58 1
