That's an interesting statistic. Where did you find it?
I ask because the available statistics I've seen on NYC car ownership and daily usage would make me wonder if there are even 1 million cars operated on NYC streets per day.

- nknighthb 12y agoThose are the statistics I'm aware of, yes. Not listed is the supposed statistic I'm seeking.
- bane 12y agoThe statistics are murky. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_in_New_York_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_in_New_York_Cit... less than 30% use cars daily, but even then that's something over 2 million cars from city residents alone. I would't drive if I lived in Manhattan or along the subway in another borough, but there's some places it makes sense.
- TheCoelacanth 12y agoI didn't say that there were millions of cars each day. I said that there were millions of people who drive in NYC. 43.5% of households in NYC own a car[1]. That's approximately 1.3 million households[2]. When you take into account people driving in from the surrounding areas and households with multiple drivers, there are almost certainly at least 2 million people who sometimes drive in NYC.
