> everyone with sense avoids the whole thing
replyOr the majority of the residents of New York City on their daily commute? I like to think I have sense, and I happily use public transport most days. I prefer it to sitting in traffic, isolated in a car. At least I can read a book. If you work too hard to insulate yourself from the world, the spaces you'll feel comfortable in will get more and more narrow. I think that's a bad thing.

replyI quite agree with the overall point but can we leave this kind of discourse on X, please? It doesn't add much, it just feels caustic for effect and engagement farming.
Roads (cars) need well behave people too. The only way cars filter some of the out is by the price.
replyPrice helps a whole lot, I think more than you give it credit for. Driving is also an active thing, this also helps.
replyWe also police driving behaviour, in a way that nobody does for public behaviour.
And no matter what I don't have to hear or smell other drivers.
