It looked like the subway wasn't that crowded for the test. It can get pretty horrible sometimes and that should probably be taken into account. I take the 456 line up and downtown each day for school and during rush hour it can get so crowded and delayed that you might need to wait for several trains to pass before you can even fit on one, and even then you are just cramming yourself into a moving underground sardine can. I've noticed that weather can make it even worse since I guess people who would have walked a short distance might decided to take the subway instead. If I had the money Uber would be the easy choice hands down.

well thank god I've decided to choose subway at last and first of all I was thinking to commute with bike but then I was like nope. so but any who I'm a high school student and some of my teachers and teacher assistance actually takes bike, I would like to know some bike commuters out there some advices when commuting with bike. Well why? After I graduate high school and move on to my job or collage I was thinking to commute with bike for my health benefit and I want to stay in shape so.

Distance is a dumb argument almost any distance where people live trying to go to Lower Manhattan is easily within normal biking distance and the bike is competitive if not better than the subway on almost every route, physical effort is a weak argument, it might be difficult at first but it will only get better as your condition improves. Safety and stress is really the biggest weakness of biking in NY and it's a big enough weakness to dissuade many people and I can't blame them.

13 minute bike ride on average from home to work on a good day, a busy
heavy traffic is about 18 minutes at most in NYC. Also saving close to
$100+ on Metro Cards or commute expenses per month. Public transit can
vary harshly depending on the weather or what going on with the services
during that week. For example detour or rail construction etc. Just
having the ability to travel asap without waiting for them to arrive is
just something I enjoy.

This isn't accurate. The subway is way faster than that, the bike could have just crossed one of the closer bridges and sailed down Manhattan instead of routing through Brooklyn. All of these methods seemed like the main problem was a lack of understanding newvyork traffic flow and directions. Bikes ultimately are the best, but subways provide a great alternative when the weather is occasionally bad.

Uber is sooooooo much cheaper in San Francisco. Taxi's are more then 3x the price of Uber, that's a fact because I tested it multiple times. This could just be for San Francisco because I don't know much about anywhere else.

Due to cost, Uber & cab aren't feasible everyday options. What about bus? Many places have express bus/coach services (especially Staten Island & New Jersey) into Manhattan so are popular in areas not well served by rail.

Pretty sad that the bicycle could get there faster than all other means. Over-crowded cities suck.
I'm glad I live in a small city. My drive to work is 15 minutes on a bad day.

This was a really cool experiment you guys did, although any New Yorker could have told you from the start the Subway is and always has been the best way to get around the city. -
