It can go either way. Within Manhattan there's a stop everywhere but maybe you need to transfer to use it. Outside Manhattan you may have more than 1/2 mile walk to a subway stop and/or you may want to pick that line over there rather than the closest one.e.g: where I live I can go 1/2 mile and get to the Broadway line, going just over a mile gets me to the 6th ave line or the E. I can't walk that (health problems) but on days when I can move at all I can sit on a bike and roll for 10 minutes. With a bike you can vary your energy output - just lifting and dropping your legs gets you about 10mph (a bit less on a Citibike), a light effort about 15, anyone in normal health can beat that. Plus, a few minutes outside is usually less nasty than any amount of time packed into a rush hour train. |
