You don’t need to make them fear driving. Give them an option that’s so good you’d have to be silly to drive.

But having the trains be dungeons of misery is what make New York New York.

Well if it’s even marginally better than NYC’s public transportation, it will be a huge hit!

I’d fear walking in NYC even more.

It doesn’t really matter who got elected, no NY Governor cares about or represents upstate NY as much as NYC.

I hope they don’t use that overly-cautious autonomous technology we’ve been seeing everywhere else. There’s nothing more infuriating as a pedestrian than an indecisive driver in NYC. Cars should never slow down for waiting pedestrians, and should always shoot through minuscule gaps in pedestrian traffic. As pedestrians, we expect the car to act quickly and decisively so we can time our walking speed to just barely avoid contact.

Heh.

If you really want to make people fear driving, though... Ban insurance, and hold everyone personally responsible for their own actions.
