I'm in the US, not in NYC. I use public transit (and my bike) exclusively. The most annoying thing about public transit is cargo handling. With a car you can buy groceries for a month. Or make a trip with several stops buying errands. Etc. With bike/bus I'm limited to what I can carry. That's a lot less than what can fit in a shopping cart / trunk˙.
