If you’re a commuter in New York City, you’re probably thinking about heading home soon. Take a deep breath in. Now let it all out. Commuters have been bemoaning the crumbling system for decades. But having more passengers and fewer trains doesn’t seem to add up. So how did the city’s subways get so bad? An investigation by @ニューヨーク・タイムズ revealed that as the subway system has aged — with signal problems and car equipment failures happening twice as frequently as a decade ago — city and state lawmakers have steered money away from fixing the issues. And that lack of investment has caught up. A few numbers that highlight the situation: ? 5.7 million: The daily ridership, which has doubled in the past 2 decades. ? 65%: The percentage of weekday trains that reach their destinations on time, the worst performance of any major transit system in the world. ? $1.5 billion: The combined amount that politicians and transit leaders stripped from the MTA by diverting tax revenues and charging large payments for services the authority could have done without. ?
