New York City Subway of the Future

Someday, the NYC transit system will collapse and there will be a desperate cry for a solution.

Future New York Subway:

Since the 1990s NYC subway ridership has grown rapidly:

Millions of commuters are traveling on the subways through 100 year old tunnels every day. The platforms are crowded as they were never meant to hold so much traffic.

Someday there will be a need for a new system.

My proposal is that the city, or even better a private company construction rights, should build a new super system underneath the old New York City system.

The ground under New York is hard rock called schist, and allows for deep tunneling.

The new system would be an express system, and the old system would be a local system.

Where would the subway go? Not to all 500 stations, but only the most important ones.

This is a map of the ridership at each station. The larger the red circle, the more riders.

This is a map idea with two lines, labeled colors Red and Blue for right now:

These lines provide a connection to New Jersey and also JFK.

The system will have clean stations and with large capacity, along with subway trains at move at 80 mph between stops and have large capacity.

Someday, everyone will expect the subways to run on time, and a new system will help move New York into a future of more innovation and productivity.
