      @i_contemplate_ It's contracts, labor efficiency, route design, tunnel design...it's all a mess, very very poorly understood

      @i_contemplate_ The whole American transit establishment is kind of in denial that costs are even high to begin with

      @MarketUrbanism I've read some people blame 'Baumol's Cost Disease' for it which seems like an utter copout.

          @i_contemplate_ Inefficient labor agreements (more so in NYC & Boston than elsewhere in the US), refusal to adopt modern tunneling...
