Was there? I don't know. I believe there are stretches of continuous welded rail on the line near me, if not the entire line.

Yeah, if there's waste and graft, it's in no show jobs and management consultants. The guys on location are there for a reason. I don't know shit about track replacement, but I'd imagine some of those guys are keeping eyes on a specific point to make sure that track comes down properly, and then as soon as it's down each has a job to do so they can get to the next one as fast as practicable.

wasn't there some issue with being unable to install CWR on the elevated tracks due to thermal expansion/contraction issues?

Those are completely different still. Those are services that apply to all people.
Train use is something that varies from person to person. While almost everyone in Manhattan uses them, the frequency of use varies from person to person. Therefore, there needs to be a cost associated with frequency.
Not only should people pay, the amount they pay should be based on the location they are traveling to. This is how all major cities in Europe such as London do it. You pay for what you use and the amount you pay depends on where you go. And they have far better public transportation services than the MTA.

The parking situation is tough in downtown , you can go to a garage but is expensive. Sometimes what most people do is park in a certain area where is easier to find parking and then just move using the subway

Is crazy , but March so far has been colder than January.

MTA are the biggest group of scammers in NY. I’ve never seen more bloat and waste in my life than MTA. Everyone needs an assistant and everything needs to be done 5-6 times because it’s just fun for them to waste resources. They are criminals.

They obviously do not. I live in NYC and can confirm there is not, and never has been a Walmart here. This is some fear-mongering shit right up here in this montherfucker.

Fine bad example. The FDA, building inspectors, EPA, food safety people who inspect restaurants, etc. This libertarian notion that people should all pay for services a la carte as they use them is a fantasy.
The trains in most cities are used by a minority of people, but in Manhattan it’s the vast majority.
