I have some experience with NYC transit, which is what my post was based on. Crowded, sketchy, stressful (more so than congestic traffic to me), and all the points I said before. Specifically coming from upstate to the Museum of Natural History. Train ride was nice at least but it did involve running across the PA on the way back. I've driven/been driven in NYC a few times (pre-pandemic) and it wasn't /that/ bad, but I don't think it was ever in Manhattan. Most recently was going to JFK and back from somewhere more upstate. I looked into transit options and they were seemingly expensive (might have been a wash with crazy bridge tolls down there), had a bunch of connections, and long walking periods or uber connections adding more expense. Definitely didn't sound fun to bring luggage along. NYC is supposed to be the country's shining example of transit, isn't it? I can't say it enamoured me. If I lived there I'd probably end up biking a lot.
