Reply to comment by Bobbydadude01 in Report: Boston traffic is the fourth worst in the world by JBupp

It was never normal for people who live in Boston to drive everywhere. People complain about the cost of living in Boston, no less that added expense of a parking space etc that isn’t needed.

The cars are Uber and people from outside the city.

The bike lanes are competing with public transportation.

Duh. That’s why traffic has gotten worse.

City is ranked #3 for people without cars

In fact, a higher percentage of people walk to work in Boston than any other city in the U.S. at 14.5 percent. Boston ranks the third highest for percentage of people who take public transit to work, with 33 percent, behind New York and Washington, DC.

So tell me again about all these cars being taken off the road via bike lanes? Lol
