You also have to look at how adding new lines will increase the amount of traffic downtown for train useage.

Currently the train probaly sees probably half as much traffic as it would if all the proposed tracks were finished. If they increase the amount of people using trains/day by 100,000 people than that means the downtown train system HAS to be able to support that many people (which it currently cannot)

They need to either do a skyrail service on 7th avenue or the 8th avenue subway system and have NW trains run from 8th or whatever...
