ANYTHING to minimize auto traffic in Manhattan is a good thing.

No! REALLY NO!

Trains used to be built by private business, that had or tried to have some sense of the return on the investment they were making. The politicians who build these railroads have a different sort of return on investment in mind.

When the railroad system was built it was backed by the Government with grants and outright funding and something else...The Interstate Highway System did not exist, what do you think killed the railroads.
