If you could get from Jersey City to midtown, I think you'd get thousands a day, easily. Until it rains, anyway.

Thanks, I did miss that. I caught this one, though, which practically gave me whiplash from nodding so much as I read it.

The one dark point that this opinion piece missed was that a high tax or surcharge for driving a private car in midtown won't affect the super-rich at all; in fact, it will make driving easier for them, riding around in the backs of their limos.

A bicycle is the best way to gt around NYC. And there are already so many folks riding bikes, they are already a part of traffic.
