Reply to comment by AngelaLambert in Staten Island (or Richmond County) is the most sleep-deprived place in New York State, with 44% of adults reporting inadequate sleep. It also ranks 15th out the most sleep-deprived counties in the U.S. by AngelaLambert

SI has some of the longest average commutes in the country.

The average one way commute in the United States is 27.6 minutes. Obnoxiously long commutes are pretty common NY metro area but Staten Island and the Bronx are absolute monstrosities compared to the rest of the country.

Really really good is a bit of a stretch and depends on where you live. There are some areas with zero (I mean nothing, not even buses) public transit. The free train sounds great but it often runs only every 30 mins and sometimes not at all on the weekends due to track work. I live in New Dorp which has a multitude of transit options, but recently I needed to take the bus to Mariner’s harbor and it took 1.5 hours. If I drove it would have been 20 minutes top. Ironically I didn’t drive that day because I was picking my car up from a repair shop there.

I do use local transit here but only when it happens to work out for the situation.

For off the boro transit, it also depends on the situation, but try catching a Manhattan bound SIM1 in the evening during rush hour. Literally 1hr+ wait times.
