I'm not sure how much more cost Giambrone can add to these subway extensions. They're already, mile for mile, pretty much the most expensive in the world. ("The EA says it will be $2.4 billion including $700 million in contingency, so let's round it up to an even $4 billion!") He's already building a half-kilometre long underground bus terminal with about three times as many bus bays as could ever conceivably be required. He's paying more just in architects' fees than most cities pay to build entire subway stations. He's tunnelling under empty, government-owned land. How much more can he inflate the cost of subways before he finally kills them?
Suggestions:
Suggestions:
- Gold-plated fixtures in washrooms
- Seven elevators per platform
- Build stations deep enough to serve as nuclear bomb shelters
- Build new yard in the middle of Yorkville
- Moving walkways everywhere (Permanently closed for maintenance after completion, of course!)
- Route all buses to parallel the subway route so that people don't have to sully themselves by riding the subway (oops! They're already doing that)
