It may reduce that "Traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights."

Take the A Train.  It's the fastest way to get to Harlem.

Still don't understand why they would run light rail on a grade seperated line.  It would seem natural to use existing subway equipment.

One-man operation, less elaborate stations, on-board proof-of-payment.

Much as I hate to promote the fulsome, self-serving crap that comes out of Hochul's office:

Of course there wasn't a word about Penn Station or through-running, which is strange considering where the IBX is slated to run...
