    They have more than enough money to fix it but, it will get fixed once someone gets hurt and that lawsuit gets settled.

    If they ensure safety for everyone! why does the bridge look like that? Isn't that what the American tax dollars are supposed to be going towards keeping the cities and States up so it would not collapse on top of us and so we won't get swallowed up under the ground. What is the government doing with our tax dollars! Putting it in their own pockets while we continue to suffer and struggle! There's no reason why that bridge should look like that! Or why it shouldn't be a priority to be fixed! Just another example of how the government don't care about the people! if it's not benefiting them in anyway it can't be done! Pure foolishness! and to be honest nothing the government does make sense to anyone but them

    Ever since the opening of Grand Central, more trains have pass by there. Closing the bridge would cause a panic to ALL Penn Station and Grand Central customers.

    Brings to mind that meme picture with a raging fire in the background and the MTA saying it's Fine. They likely won't do much until it's on the verge of collapse, and then only do half-fast emergency repairs instead of a proper long-term fix.
