Hopefully this isn't dupe, but interesting:

I know we talked about the possibility of the NY subway shutting down each night, but this is a bit different, this is an interesting approach to the problem, shutting down whole lines for X period of time. I think it is something worth talking about, I would rather take the pain now and have it fixed in a couple of years, rather than a decade or more. Among other things, the transit system is famous for long term projects that disappear when some financial dip happens or some politician decides that they have some boondoggle someplace elsewhere in the state that needs feeding. By doing it more short term, kind of makes the risk of that happening a lot less, better than having the system limp along on bandaids for decades or more.
