Abstract
This paper discusses new strategies for the design and construction of subway systems from the point of view of faster implementation, and r educed cost. The four primary strategies involve underground vs. cut a nd cover construction, long tunnel drives, the physical, or at least, functional separation of the mezzanine and plat form areas of the stat ions and the contractual separation of the tunneling and finish portio ns of the stations and tunnels.
