The big news yesterday was, “We’re getting a new bus terminal!” The bad news yesterday was, “Why does a new bus terminal cost $10 billion?!” And, “Why does it take 10 years to complete after so many years of prior study?” And, “Why does replacing one bus terminal with another bus terminal require years of environmental studies?” The main news was in the Times, which reported that the Port Authority has settled on a final design for a new bus station to replace one that “has become synonymous with the overburdened, crumbling infrastructure that has made commuting in New York City a grim slog” (ouch!).
