Ah i see. It is different but still complex then (e.g. real wages grew before the 80s but not after). Also not sure how many people a train carried a hundred years ago per hour vs now. How much is it above/below ground (ny high line). The topic needs a book.
I'm reminded of slatestarcodex's cost disease article. I asked someone pretty high up at the MTA. He said the problem was Nimbyism and unnecessary regulation like minority procurement requirements.

Pretty sure trains in the USA were faster and carried same if not more people, fwiw.

I'll check that article thanks! I wonder if this (nimbysm) is one of the reasons behind the cyclical life of some urban areas. Development overdevelopment disfunctionality abandonment start again.

Don't know but it's also the main reason to which people attribute sf's housing crisis.
