The Subway Problem: An Address Delivered by William G. McAdoo, Esq. At the Sixth Annual Dinner Under the Auspices of the Board of Trustees of Plymouth Church (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents an accessible analysis of the debate surrounding the construction of New York City’s subway system. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company held a monopoly on the city’s subway lines. The author reviews an alternative plan put forward in 1911 by William G. McAdoo to establish an independent system. McAdoo argued that an independent system would foster healthy competition and better serve the public, providing more efficient and affordable transportation options. The book delves into the political and economic factors that shaped the debate, exploring the tension between private and public interests. Ultimately, the author concludes that McAdoo's vision for an independent subway system was a missed opportunity that could have had a profound impact on the development of New York City and its transportation infrastructure.
