I mean it's a good project, but not even close to being the most impactful NYC transit project in modern history.

    No, it really is. Name another single individual nyc subway project from the past 50 years that created a bigger expansion of available service. This is the biggest one, and by a massive amount

    Well obviously the 2nd Ave Subway for starters.

    Dude not even close! The 2nd ave subway project added 3 new stops. The IBX is adding WAY more than that. And even if you wanna count the entire hypothetical second avenue line as a single project (which it obviously isn't because each "phase" of the entension is being done multiple decades apart at best), then the hypothetical entire line is still way less than the IBX.
