Too many residents of New York City equate the "city" to be Manhattan, so they use statements such as, "I'm going into the city". In fact it is the five boroughs that is the whole city of New York.

What you meant is that probably during the evenings many Queens Blvd riders are not traveling to or from Manhattan, but to or from various destinations in Queens and Brooklyn. That is a statement I really do not have a problem with.

It's a pet peeve of mine when folks treat Manhattan as if it were the "city" which means that they kind of devalue the place where they live. If Manhattan is the "city" when what do they call the place where they actually live? Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island are not suburbs by any definition.
