I've heard of some pretty whacky commutes in or between the outer Boroughs....One should not plan from anecdotes. Here's a link to the county-to-county work flows estimated by the US Census. It's a spreadsheet. Here's the excerpt for the borough to borough work flow. You should be able to paste it into a spreadsheet "From/To>","Bronx","Kings","New York","Queens","Richmond","Total" "Bronx",231832,19606,193345,23728,828,469339 "Kings",14056,550814,402684,70162,6028,1043744 "New York",27838,25719,705133,22046,1677,782413 "Queens",21567,90799,368049,441400,2220,924035 "Richmond",1209,29208,49238,5379,101300,186334 "Total",296502,716146,1718449,562715,112053,3405865 The biggest interborough flow is between Brooklyn and Queens, with 70K of 1M Brooklyn residents commuting to Queens and 91K of 924K Queens residents commuting to Brooklyn. These numbers represent a small fraction of Brooklyn or Queens residents working in their home borough or in Manhattan. How is TriboroRX a diversion? If you look at the numbers the number of interborough work commutes to/from the Bronx and Queens/Brooklyn is less than 20K. So, Bronx to Bklyn/Qns would be 40K max and similarly the Bklyn/Qns to Bronx would be another 40K max. That's a total of 80K max out of 3.4 million workers or 2.4% of the workforce. If one wants to make an improvement to improve the work commute, they should start with the other 97.6%. |
