We need to create the Uber for subways with on the demand subway train pick up and drop offs.

I'm not sure I buy that loss of some know-how and some labor relations problems account for the 8x increase in the cost of subway construction. I suspect it's more that it's simply an uncompetitive industry, and there's nobody that will bid a reasonable rate for these projects.
The money's going someplace, and it's not like they are burning $4billion in coal to dig adamantium out of these tunnels. |

I suspect it's probably also regulation. I suspect we were comfortable with a fair more number of deaths and injuries up until the last few decades.
