>>2004817And this is how I know you have never actually driven in NYC.
This is the route that the Holland Tunnel usually takes you through. Not sure if you noticed but the fastest route from Queens and Brooklyn to Jersey is often in a straight line if you're going to somewhere like Meadowlands Stadium. This means cutting through midtown or lower Manhattan, no sense to loop around the island on the FDR.
And saying
>Not NYCs problem Isn't going to help commercial RE in Manhattan or NYC's tax base relying on commuters from suburbia. New Jersey and Long Island residents working in NYC still pay NYC income and sales taxes. NYC is going to go into a death cycle, WFH was the first nail in the coffin because now they lost revenue from commuters from suburbia.
>Express Bus ServicesYeah they still suck in Queens and Staten Island even with dedicated bus lanes, and don't solve the final mile problem (IE getting to/from the station or working hours that the express bus doesn't run, it's a 24/7 city remember?)
