Is Manhattan traffic any better on the weekends, anyone know?

[NHRHS2010]

@Truemoderate I am not an actual New Yorker so I wouldn't be able to give you the exact answer. On weekends, along with peak hours, I can say traffic is worse. It is better to drive in Manhattan in early morning and late night. Any part of New York City is crowded but I will say it's way too crowded in the midtown Manhattan. I will also say that parking and tolls are a rip-off, for sure, and you will have a hard time even finding parking.

@toxicfool425 As with driving, I heard a lot about the Autobahn with unlimited speed. It's even safer than American interstates. I enjoy driving in the countryside and the mountains but not in big cities.

@toxicfool425 Yeah I do recall ten years ago taking a month long trip to Europe to six different countries. I was on the ICE (Intercity Express) from Munich to Frankfurt and it was late. But in different countries, like France, and during my more recent trips to Europe (which happened to be an Italian trip), the on time performance seems better. Amtrak also has problems with on-time performance.

@NHRHS2010 Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude :-) I'm from Germany, and we have DB -> "Die Bahn" wich is late regulary. However, fridays on a certain time there's a different company handling the train traffic, and travelling with them is enjoyable and on time. We have that only fridays though.

I actually enjoy driving, that's why I was wondering. Even when I'm stuck in traffic for hours I never get bored of it, haha :)

But well, there's both and each to their own tastes ;)

[NHRHS2010]

@toxicfool425 Well that sucks for you. Kinda like common airline delays. Also, as with your bad experience on the train, I don't know where you're from but this can depend on where in Europe and which train company. But European trains are still better than American Amtrak.

Also, why do you care on whether I sound so "desperate about making my point"??

[toxicfool425]

@NHRHS2010 False. Beeing from europe I can say I despise taking the train. It's always half an hour late, you often don't get a seat and have to stand between a lot of stinky people where most of them are drunk because they are failures. Also, a lot of doors are malfunctioning. Sometimes it's luck wheter it opens or not. Btw, why do you sound so desperate about making your point?

[NHRHS2010]

@bcre8iv94 the train is a great way to go in, out and around Manhattan (including subways too). It is a quick way of getting around. If you go to places like Europe, the train is actually the best way to go from city to city.

[bcre8iv94]

So you'd rather take the train?

@N0GGINB0NKER Is this question even necessary? The answer is no, and it has nothing to do with this video. You seem to suffer from discrimination against people with disabilities.
