The subway doesn't go everywhere, and NYC is so big that mass transit can take longer to get to places than to drive. Driving in NYC really isn't that bad as long as you don't drive mostly in midtown. 75% of the rest of the city is perfectly drivable. Secondly, the concentration of wealth/population is so high that even if a small minority of people drive, it still causes lots of congestion.
