Here’s something coming without delays.
New research warns that rapidly rising underground heat in subway stations is well on its way to becoming a “silent hazard” that will wreck transit systems and cause health issues for straphangers in the not-so-distant future.
“Subsurface temperature rises can also cause transportation infrastructure and public health issues, such as overheated subway rails that force trains to slow down or stop to avoid incidents with significant economic costs associated with the delay of public transportation services,” warns Northwestern engineering professor Alessandro Rotta Loria in a study released Tuesday.
Making matters worse, the hellishly hot platform and tunnel areas — scientifically referred to as urban heat islands — are not equipped for the major temperature change, one which can have a whopping ground temperature of 70 degrees.

Let me guess, the problem is climate change ?
We’re getting to the core of the matter, now.
Let me guess, the problem is climate change ?
No, the problem is the Climate Cult ,LOL
What we need is white asphalt...
New York City is as far from a natural environment as possible. Few trees. Little grass. Mostly concrete and asphalt. So what do you expect? The city becomes hot in summer. Underground remains hot. It can’t be changed. Get used to it.
Worry more about the creatures that inhabit the underground who slash humans, rape women, steal money, and push humans onto the tracks.
“Let me guess, the problem is climate change ?”
Yes. It’s already ‘underground’ in Chicago.
Somebody needs research grants!
save the bums!
