What about senior citizens, disabled are they supposed to wait to get on a over crowded cross town bus, and have to stand for long periods of time in rush hour traffic. I think this is a direct blow to low to middle income people. If you can't afford to take an expensive cab then the hell with you. The mayor should try to force the state to do this otherwise the whole new neighborhood they created will just have to fend for them selves. When are they going to start thinking about all the thousands of people living there. They can throw the buildings up in a year or less then what's so hard about extending the subway 3 blocks. Another example of the city thinking about everything but people.
