With a fare hike looming, the MTA would like you to marvel at what all your pricey swipes are buying. And in the case of the 7 train extension to 34th Street and 11th Avenue, you're getting quite a lot! Just look at the photos and video of the progress the Authority has just released. Things have come a long way since we last stopped by back in February.
As the above video makes abundantly clear there is still a long way to go before the extension opens—and then gets filled with residents and workers from the Hudson Yards "mini-city"—but it is nice to see that something is definitely happening down there.
