It’s all hyper focusing on the psychotic minority of people who drive into Manhattan and how hard it is for them, despite having commutes that could easily be done with public transit. There’s a scant few soundbites from strap hangers, the people who are the vast majority of commuters. One of the networks had a long interview with a tourist from Philadelphia who drove in for a Broadway show. She’s going on about how tough it’ll be for commuters, like, shut the fuck up, you are out of your element, you don’t live here, you don’t work here, stop opining on things you know nothing about.

And its like the one part of the country where public transit is decent. SEPTA, NJ Transit, MTA.

In Philly, you can just decide to go to New York for the day by taking Regional Rail to Trenton, Trenton to NYC. Or if you plan ahead, an Amtrak train for less than $20 each way, or even a Megabus for even less.
