Driving a car in NYC isn't going to be much faster than taking the bus.

  It depends on where you live and work with respect to the nearest stations, and on how many legs your trip consist of.

    If this is New york, and we’re talking alot using manhattan to get somewhere, your car isn’t beating the train unless someone throws themselves in the track

      > your car isn’t beating the train Doesn't it depend on where you live with respect to the nearest station? Doesn't it depend on whether you have a direct train or you need to change a couple of times?

        No, it does not. The subway is practically always faster.

        If we're talking about driving (and parking) your own car, then for all intents and purposes, no, it doesn't matter. If you spend $800/month on 2 reserved parking spots, on top of insane car insurance, you might be able to shave 5 mins off a few trips within Manhattan compared with taking the metro, but normal people don't use personal cars in Manhattan unless they're moving heavy cargo or driving out of the city.
