  • 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.

    Today I learned the original traffic light was a GIFT from a millionaire who was obsessed with traffic 🤯

    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!

    I’m a huge public transit fan. I see this traffic mess, and say “nah, I’ll take the train or will bike.”

    It's heartbreaking to see more examples of fining the populace to deter behavior
    Aka depriving lower class city services

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

    • @quadcorelatte8217
      @quadcorelatte8217 2 місяці тому

      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.

    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.

    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.
