  • How does a city with so many people in such a small amount of space work to combat traffic? We visited the Department Of Transportation's Traffic Management Center at their office in Queens, New York to learn how the big apple is dealing with gridlock.

    Clicked this video not knowing what to expect but enjoyed every second of it. Love the interviews, it's really cool to hear from the folks who keep things running behind the scenes, and it definitely helps that you're great at talking to them. Editing and pacing are top-notch too. Keep it up!

    The story structure/ planning/ execution of this film is incredible. I’m devistated that it is as criminally under rated as it is at the moment but I know it’s only a matter of time until that changes. Keep it up!

    not sure how much congestion charges would help.. i imagine taxis and trucks would be somewhat exempt..

    • @quadcorelatte8217
      @quadcorelatte8217 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Trucks pay extra. $35 for trucks.
      Taxi riders are charged a small surcharge per trip; 1.25 for taxis and 2.50 for Ubers.
      It would have helped.

    As a person who works in Manhattan it always baffles me people would even try to drive, let alone find parking. Just take the subway and walk.

    What they need to do is make the subway and buses free and implement a monorail system to relieve the influx of public transit commuters. Then implement a $15 per hour fee for driving in certain areas at certain times of the day. It will solve the problem real quick.

    If you look at the street and bridges they are falling apart due to the traffic weights no one talks about this and on top of it they have to fix and start more traffic it doesn’t work
    24 hours a day your spending 3 4 out of that going and coming from work in addition to finding parking

    The video opens with "New York has the worst congestion of any major city in the US".
    Is the traffic there worse than in LA? I live in LA but visit New York regularly for work and feel like it's not worse than LA.
