I agree that the system is absolute dogshit in NYC, but how do you go about fixing that? Xinjiang had the benefit of being brand new, so there were no existing travelers, and it’s not like you can just close down a station in NYC and say “Oopsie; get fucked everyone who used this line/station, come back in a few weeks/months”.
It’s a lose lose.
It’s pretty much like that, then like someone else said you provide a bus route between the two stations. It's an inconvenience but has to happen at some time.
For smaller repairs like painting you an paint half of the station while keeping the other half operational, then finish the job some days later.
It sounds very easy on paper, but that suggestion is just horrifically infeasible. It’s not that it’s an inconvenience, it’s just much more complicated and logistically impossible then how you’re portraying it.
If you're talking about the bus route then you just don't know what you're talking about. Like others have said it already happens in Moscow and DC, and I can add my own experience with Athens.
Obviously if they want to do repairs or maintenance they don't close one station, they close part of the line and replace it with an express bus line. Yes it's slower and will make traffic worse but it simply must happen at some time.
Going by your logic, creating a subway system in a city with traffic issues is a "lose lose" because the roadworks will make traffic worse for a couple of years.
