The MTA’s unwillingness to expand New York City’s subway network is well-known. Aside from the statutory requirement to keep the system in a good state of repair, what are the top MTA priorities for the subways and how beneficial are they for transportation? These can be grouped under two broad categories: beautification and automation/dehumanization.

Beautification

New Yorkers are a people on the move who see the subways as a means to get from here to there as quickly as possible. They don’t pause to study their stations and don’t really care what they look like. New York subway riders simply want their stations to be safe, well-lighted, clean and well-maintained. Otherwise, they want to be on their way as quickly as possible. Even though most New Yorkers don’t see their stations as "art museums," the MTA obsessively pursues beautification, particularly in wealthy neighborhoods.

The Fulton Street Station in Downtown Manhattan had confusing passageways connecting numerous subway lines and was in dire need of a major overhaul. When the federal government provided over $20 billion for rebuilding Downtown Manhattan after 9/11 {about $4.55 billion was designated for transportation (NY Daily News, 8/14/02)}, this station was an obvious priority.
