You’re saying it as if Staten Island is its own city. The truth is that they can’t control the resources to build new lines. That’s something that only the city and state can do, and neither are prioritizing it rn
Sure but consider that the MTA could be investing money toward places that would more appreciate it, Queenslink and the IBX are well received and suffer from very little resistance from local politicians. The MTA has almost no reason to invest in a hostile area that until relatively recently was extremely anti public transportation (the MTA operates on a decade long timeframe at a time).
