Answer 2

i left out my previous ans., it seems exagerrated and it wasn't scientific entirely, perhaps a guess like howmany jellybeans in the jelly jar. Yet as far fetched as it might sound, maybe it was far accurate than any one might realize. There are alot. Over on westside about 4 pm for sure a sea of cars compared to persons, not that many are crossing the streets in comparison. Only maybe on broadway shopping hours afternoons do you see a throng of pedestrians yet the sea of cars is unending much of the time. Cars streaming down 2nd street near Houston can move in eight directions all at the same time. The corner only 50 feet from the curb is lonely, isolated whereas there might be a good 30 at the Pizza restaurant on a weekend night.

Actual census says there are 5 million persons a day in manhattan weekday. Even that estimate might be shy. i had said 31 million cars are passing by as a guess, or 6x the persons number who commute,go to hospitals, go to universities, live here. If it seems astronomical how many cars pass by in any given green light when it requires 3 traffic cops to direct the surge. It could outnumber the number of residents who own cars, and would count everyone who commutes by car, yet so many are passing throughnot only to get to nearby suburbs and boroughs the statistics seem to limit. There are commuters from NJ, CT Ma. There are visitors from brooklyn going to CT, from long island to CT or MA etc so many various combinations it outnumbers the combinations named in the census. In 4 8 lane highways you have at Houston street makes 32 cars in the 1st row of all cars there and 32 more just behind it and so forth for as far as the eye can see, that adds upexpotential. Me 50 feet from the curb may be a lone pedestrian and it might remain like this for up to one hour or more. Yet dozens nay thousands of cars are passing me by in a matter of one change of traffic light. The flow like a wave of more cars on every new wave endlessly ceaselessly there's no break in cars rolling along for most part.

Answer 3

According to Wikipedia, 45% of New Yorkers own cars, but only 30% of them drive to work, since public transportation is actually much faster and more convenient. More often than not, traffic in Manhattan is congested. Also, parking spaces are notoriously hard to find, while parking garages are very expensive.

Far fewer New Yorkers own cars than the rest of the U.S. population. In the rest of the U.S., it is extremely difficult to get by without a car, since nothing is ever within walking distance, and since public transportation is very limited. Manhattan is tiny and densely populated, so walking to your destination is often completely feasible. Furthermore, public transportation is convenient and accessible, making cars an unnecessary burden instead of a lifesaving convenience.

My family had a car when I was growing up, but we only used it to go shopping in New Jersey, to visit my grandmother in Brooklyn, and to drive to our beach house on Long Island.
