Reply to comment by Topher1999 in Traffic study by former head of NYC DOT reveals what he says is ultimate cause of congestion by HEIMDVLLR

It got significantly worse. The MTA did a similar study showing that ride share apps were primarily responsible for buses hitting their slowest average speeds ever when Uber/Lyft first flooded the streets with cars.

I believe it. It's also the dickheads who call a Uber and make them wait 5 minutes so all other cars have to go around, effectively making 2 lanes into 1.

How is the MTA supposed to make buses reliable when there are too many cars on the road?

They need to make the trains frequent and reliable so people don’t feel the need to get a car service.

When a TrainTime breaks down during rush hour now tens of thousands of people all suddenly need to come above ground and get Ubers and taxis to get to work.
