BIGGER: congestion - In 25 years, rush hour could last 12 hours every day. Congestion already costs our region more than $5 billion in lost time alone every year. Without expanding our transportation network, by 2030 virtually every subway line - and our commuter lines - will be crammed beyond capacity. Buses will fight with over 100,000 more cars to make headway through City streets. We can not let unpleasant crowding grind our economy to a halt. Our challenge is to keep New York - and New Yorkers - moving forward.
