It's pretty normal in other cities to drive around the city center to get to outlying suburbs on the other side. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge (I-278) and George Washington Bridge (I-95) are far better suited to cross-region travel than cutting across Lower Manhattan on roads with intersections every block.
That said, NYC needs to get better at thru-running trains across jurisdictions to make metro area crossing journeys easier
- theluketaylor 3y agoNYC needs a Paris RER clone more than any city in the world. The tracks already mainly exist, it’s just the operating model that doesn’t (and is the true innovation of RER). Run the regional rail exactly the same way you run the subway/metro with through running, all day, high frequency service with short dwell times.
