Well, there were projects on the table that were already designed. They would have cost way less money, moved four to five times more people, and built 100 stations instead of 12 new stations. The right thing to do, if you want to build transit, is to say, “Here—we have money to build.” Then you ask the public authority, which is supposed to be the expert, about what the next project to move the most people will be. You then pay for that project, which has been on the table sometimes for 10 or 15 years, instead of bringing in a new player, changing all the rules and creating havoc within the system.
