According to a recent study by the Regional Plan Association, a nonpartisan planning group, by 2030, commuters will need 12 hours to get to the office. Tragically, this means that Recharger has another excuse to stay un-employed.

Same goes for nine million other losers in the New York metropolitan area. Currently, subways ferry an average 7,126,950 people each week, a figure that will rocket upwards as the city struggles to fit the extra one million people projected to balloon the population over the next quarter century. With 1.4 billion riders per year, the study suggests the MTA won’t be able to shoulder the extra load.

The still-to-be completed 2nd Avenue line—the “tunnel to nowhere”—might help. But with no fare hike before 2008, the MTA won’t be able to buy new Bombardier trains for the line.

Us: we’re staying home.
