There are several reason why an NYC resident would choose to ride the train or metro instead of owning a car. First, the metro system is fairly extensive and the fares are reasonable (based on the cost of living in the city), so the train can be more convenient. Second, parking for a vehicle in NYC is prohibitively expensive, if you can even find parking within the city itself. Third, traffic in NYC is notoriously congested - you can spend an hour trying to move 10 blocks depending upon deliveries, accidents, and other obstacles. Fourth, the metro is more ecologically friendly - it has a smaller carbon footprint than driving a single-occupant vehicle.
