They need to find a more efficient way to set these things up from the very start.
NYC is pretty good in itself, but suffers from "starburst" syndrome. It caters to people wanting to get in and out of Manhattan from the boroughs, but it is very hard to get from Queens to Brooklyn without having to go at least halfway into the city. The system should look more like a dartboard, with trains running around the perimeter at certain intervals to make it so that you can get from one end of the bronx to the other w/o taking the god-awful slow busses or tak the # train down to the city, switch to the @ train, then the # train and come back up...
NJ needs to start looking at something similar to make it easier to develop alternate corporate centers with easy access to the city that people can also GET to without having to drive to them or go to the city and come back on another line....
We will see how that goes though...
