It is good that public transportation is getting a revival. But is it that people are not walking to places as much as before. That would be a shame if that is the reason. Keep in mind very few in New York have cars that they drive to in the city. Of course they may have one that they drive on vacation or business outside the city. My point being is that I hope the change in ridership is not at the expense of walking.
