I really hate NY city

[littlebit]

Well I hate driving through it. I took me almost five hours to go six miles.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. I agree

When we drove through it once I was ready to kill someone!

[devilgrrl]

2. If you think that's bad, don't come to L.A.!

:rofl:

[littlebit]

5. No thanks

I've done that one to many times.

[DS1]

3. That's why I park in Stamford and take the train in

and the subway from there.

[littlebit]

6. I can't do that.

I am driving an 18 wheeler with a 40,000 lbs load.

[DS1]

8. doh!

:D


I can only try empathize with going through that, hell a Honda Civic is a handful driving in NYC

[madinmaryland]

9. WTF?? There is no subway to Stamford.

:wtf: dude????

There's no subway in Stamford, except for that sandwich place.

:wtf:

[LostinVA]

10. The regular train, not the Subway

:eyes:

Hehe.

[madinmaryland]

12. I spent 10 years taking teh train in from Norwalk ot Grand Central,

so I think I do know there is no subway in teh Connecticut.

There is bus service from Stamford to teh White Plains, though!

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

13. South Norwalk

Rowayton (yes I did see Andy Rooney)
Darien
Noroton Heights
Stamford
..Express
Greenwich..
..Express
125th Street
Grand Central

:hi:

17. Most expresses do not stop at Greenwich

and the only ones I can find that do, do not make the intermediate stops after South Norwalk.

Yes, I did grow up around there, and for a time in the mid-'90s, I lived in New Haven and Mom lived in NYC. Thus, I spent far more time on Metro-North than was really good for me.

[madinmaryland]

19. Most don't except for the 7:45am.

I lived in Norwalk from 96-2001 then in Bridgeport til 2004.

The 7:45am express was for those mornings when I didn't catch the 7:08, 7:13 or 7:22 express. The 7:34 was a diesel train that took over an hour to get in to NYC!

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. I drove in it recently...

I thought it would be tough...but I watched how the cabbies do it...

They RELAX.

When you go with the flow...it is kind of cool...people let you in.

[littlebit]

7. I do it a few times a week.

Normally it doesn't bother me. But today was just ridiculous.

[LeftyMom]

14. I drove there.

I hadn't planned on getting a car, but after almost getting run over at the crosswalk a few times, I figured having a steel frame and eight airbags between me and teh stoopid was a smart move.

As big cities go, it's much easier to navigate by car than San Francisco. Or Portland. Or, FSM forbid, LA.

[baldguy]

11. I love NYC

But I wouldn't want to drive there.

[leeroysphitz]

15. It's a lot easier getting OUT than getting in. I don't know why. n/t

[littlebit]

16. I know

I had no problems getting over the GW bridge. I managed to get about two miles north of it before I hit the backup.

[KamaAina]

18. They don't charge tolls on the way out

they hit you with double the toll, plus the backup, on the way in.

Tolls. They're not just for Delaware anymore!

[littlebit]

20. It costs me $40

every time I go into the city. That's not including what NJ charged me for the privilege of using their road.
