Money is always the issue. Unfortunately, double decker trains would not work due to tunnel depths along the C train lines being too shallow.

I don't think there would be as much digging up of downtown than you think. Even Bankers Hall already has an unused but allocated C Train station in it. The new tower that's slated for Penny Lane even has allotments for C Train access.
