That was the claim. The drop in traffic, proves that’s not the case.
Your new idea that “now only the rich are driving in NYC” always was the case anyway. The middle class and lower don’t bother owning cars in NYC. The public transit being the best in the nation, and permanent parking spaces to store your car costing hundreds of dollars per month, after the cost of the car and insurance that everyone everywhere pays; most born and raised NYers don’t even have drivers licenses, because cars are such a waste of money there.

The map doesn’t show traffic inside NYC by NYC residents. It shows commuters going into NYC.
