The only place mass transit can meet all needs is for travel within NYC, beyond that, yes cars are necessary for some things. But better mass transit will free up more room on the already extensive road system in the region for cars to drive around. And congestion tolling will discourage people from going near NYC. There should be AT MINIMUM a $10 fee to cross into Manhattan (including I-95), and more during times of peak congestion. |
