Reply to comment by AeneasSonofAnchises in PSA: For those of you who operate non-electric vehicles, note that the NYS sales tax holiday on motor fuels is expiring tomorrow, so fill up before January 1 and save about 40c/gal. by HiFiGuy197

As a driver myself I'm always in favor of expanding transit and believe it is the ONLY option to reducing car dependency. However most people see the MTA's track record and have no hope, so they don't bother spreading awareness. And a lot of these people are transit users themselves, not drivers. "It would be nice but it's never gonna happen." A lot of these people don't even know about the The Triboro project, the Interborough Express, and the Queenslink.

If the city truly cared they would start expanding transit ASAP, but nope, they always have some political and financial problems. Meanwhile other developed cities around the world have robust, modern subway systems.

Agree, I wish the MTA didn’t suck so hard. But would rather fix it then encourage more cars.
