Shockingly, residents of a city with extensive, reliable, and affordable public transit, choose to use it.

I’m very surprised by these household incomes where are these people living?
I've lived here for most of my adult life and never felt like I needed a car.
Having one is a huge pain. Parking. Insurance. Gas. Maintenance. Getting home when you're drunk.
It's easier to just get on the train.
I'd like if transit was cheaper and more reliable outside the city. Visiting family in the suburbs via transit is slower and more expensive.
its car free because its impossible to get anywhere in NYC with a car.
From the car centric US point of view,yes. However, being able to get everywhere anytime by car and be able to park anywhere is fundamentally incompatible with having a non-car centric city. It is two sides of the same coin. NYC is pretty much the only major city in the US where a large area is actually not totally car-centric.
