Four out of the top nine counties are in NYC. Once again a common W for Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx (not you Staten Island, you suck)
Staten Island doesn't have the subway infrastructure that other boroughs have. The one line it does have does have relatively high usage. Maybe it's wise to expand it?
Im not saying Staten Island cant be good, there simply isn't the political will to improve anything. If their government and people got the heads out of the sand they would notice that there is demand for more rail infrastructure. Kinda like how there's significant amounts of unmet rail demand in Queens and Brooklyn (hopefully the IBX helps the issue)
Staten’s a bunch of republicans. They aren’t gonna pay for anything that lets the rabble in.
