Thanks for your comment, Anita. One way to reduce the number of cars in the city is to introduce congestion pricing, which you can read more about in subtopic 2 on this page. Basically, drivers would have to pay a toll—like you would if you crossed a bridge—to drive into central Manhattan. Hopefully, that would give drivers a good reason to use the bus or subway. Another way to reduce congestion: the city could ban private vehicles from entering Man, which you can read about in subtopic 4 on this page. Which would you prefer, considering that you occasionally rent a car? Or do you have a different idea?

P.S. To read more about cutting down on distracted driving and other annoying driving habits, check out topic 3, subtopic 4.
