Even Stevie Wonder, it is said, could see what would happen if such "Star Wars" type technology replaced the ol' "tried-and-true" . . . |

W.B.:
You said it it!
As Yours Truly commuted on "the tubes" and the subways for nearly 25 years, je can tell you I cannot recall the frequency level of signal issues on PATH as I see plaguing the system today.
Of course, back in those days, for the most part, McAdoo-era signals still pretty much ruled...........alas, that was a loooong time ago.....

.................I thinkit is pretty much a given that, with several weekends worth of work on switch replacement on several subway lines, that more than a few block signals were replaced with Star Wars-eque "See-Bee-Tee-See".
Once again, if, heaven forbid the CBTC system has a "meltdown"( or is hacked unto) with NO BACKUP whatsoever, ut will be a MAJOR disaster, one that will, quite literally, bring the city to a grinding halt.......
