Improve the subway system, its signal systems, etc., which will then allow for more frequent trains. We don't need more people living in Manhattan. Stop rubber-standing new apartment/condo building developments. Another thing that will help is cracking down on fare beaters, because those who feel they deserve a free ride end making it more for those who do pay with the hikes. As for mass transit, a better way to help them is to audit them to see where their revenues are really going to, because I could never understand how do they have such high revenues yet the system is in bad shape. The rest of the time these are seen as a waste of space. Ever since Bloomberg became mayor, he was known for either reducing streets with bike lanes that barely go used throughout the year or even eliminating streets altogether for pedestrian plazas that only go used when weather permitting. Keep in mind that it's still highly opposed where the proposed zone should be. I'm getting tired of those who continue to push and feel relentlessly that the only way it can be fixed is with congestion pricing, which continues to feel not only as a regressive tax on those who can't afford it but also by placing it on those who come from areas that happen to be transit deserts hence living to no other viable alternatives to getting around besides driving who will see it as a punishment for those doing so. The real reason why NYC especially in Manhattan itself has so much traffic on a regular basis is because of the over development and the reducing or elimination of streets from vehicular traffic not to mention the omnipresence of ride share app vehicles that have no limits to how many of them can be there.
