From time to time means the occasional Saturday to Manhattan with wife and kids to do something "fun", lmao, my kids take the train more than you

Not sure what your point is. I took the subways and buses virtually everyday from about the age of 12 into my early 30s. I fail to see what relevance the frequency of ridership has on anyone commenting about how long is takes NYC to build additions to the subway system.

Or is your response only useful in ignoring the issue at hand?

Why will it take NYC 20 years to build 2.5 miles of subway? Maybe you can enlighten us?

Utterly strange. Why do I, as a resident of NYC, care about the subway? You have a very peculiar way of approaching topics.

What is the optimal time spent on NYC subways in order for one to comment on NYC subways? Is time served on the subway not counted? Are there only certain years that count?

I’m actually more perplexed that you are taking the subway regularly as some sort of virtue. Quite odd if I may say so myself. If I told you I took the subway for 6 hours everyday, how would that make anything different and how would you know if it was true or not?

When will it open to 125th? They've only announced the first phase (out of 4) and it will take 3 years. Have they told you when it'll open?

It's a perfect example of the MTA and NYC. Can you find any justification that 2.5 miles of subway should take 20 years? Are you Ok with it taking 20 years? Maybe you are and there's nothing wrong with that. Many people have low expectations.
