While you don't need to drive in NYC, you'll find plenty of people have cars. In fact, most do. Contrary to popular opinion, Manhattan is not the only borough.

I suspect the decline is largely related to the Internet and the increased ability of people to work from home. Work from home = no commuting = less miles driven.
EDIT: In fact, most do. = 46.6%. Happy?

- chimeracoder 13y ago> In fact, most do. New York City is the only city in the country in which more than 50% of residents don't own a car, and that's looking at all five boroughts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._cities_with_most_households_without_a_car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._cities_with_most_... (If you were looking at just Manhattan, the number would be around 80% - estimates vary.) The next two are also in the tri-state area (Newark and Jersey City). It's not until you get to DC (#4) in which you come to a different metropolitan area, and they only have 37% of residents without a car.
