This may not translate to London etc., but remember that NYC is a lot larger than Manhattan. There are large parts of NYC that are not serviced by trains/subways, and the only option is a bus.
My wife would take a train to a train to a bus to get from one part of Queens to another. 90 minutes on a good day. Driving - 25 mins including finding parking.
- avianlyric 5y agoIgnore the next sections, I can’t read and the comment is just wrong. This is a thread about parking in European cities. Experiences of NYC aren’t exactly useful data points. Also as a related point. It’s a real shame that the US doesn’t invest in proper bus lanes and busses. Buses don’t need to a shitty form of transport, it’s really on in the US where busses are worse than driving in city centres.
- prasadjoglekar 5y agoParent comment asked: Why does someone living in NYC, Chicago, London, Paris need a car to get to work? There are some very rare cases yes, but the vast vast majority don't need a car, they want a car. I'm positing that the assertion that the vast majority don't "need a car" is incorrect, certainly in NYC.
- avianlyric 5y agoMy apologies, clearly I need to read more carefully.
