I've lived in NY for 30 years. I've lived below 125th street in manhattan for a decade of that. The wealth of statistics available to defend your point is at your fingertips. And... you went with "nuh-uh". That doesn't really convince me of much.
For some anecdata, I've only known 1 person to take a cab in both directions every day. The only reason was because they got a new job. 3 months later their lease was up and they moved to a more convenient spot. I know plenty of people who take cabs several times a week, but that's also not a demographic it will be taking from.

That was my point. I'm pointing out that the majority of the traffic comes from elsewhere or non-commuter traffic, meaning that the impact of this would be insignificant in the big picture.
