New York City could gain $4 billion for mass transit as part of President-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan, according to Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). This inflow of money could potentially be used for construction of an extra station on the Number 7 train line that is currently being expanded to reach Manhattan's Far West Side, upgraded subway stations and 1,500 new hybrid buses. This boost in money could create 180,000 jobs for the region.
