The NYC subway is seen in TV shows, movies, it's part of the national consciousness.

Have you ever seen a movie or TV show which depicted the Boston, DC or Philly metros?

Most New Yorkers you know will not have cars. Most people you know in Boston, DC or Philly will.

Actually yea, I saw a Netflix show that had a scene in the subway in LA. The show was about Hollywood writers or something, can't recall the name.

The people I know in Boston/Somerville/Cambridge avoid having a car due to how irritating it is. I had one while living in the city (family reasons), but if I had the option I would've happily ditched it.

Anecdotal stories notwithstanding, New York is the only city in the country in which the outright majority of people don't own cars. (D.C. is a very distant second).

When ever I hear about NYC subway i instantly picture the photos on imgur.
