How come he had a car but took the subway?


This confused me.

Its New York, thats why :P

it's not the subway, it's the Metro North which is a commuter rail. The station that he is seen at throughout the movie is the Pelham station which is actually the station I go to when I go into the city.

Because there's nowhere to park a car in New York.

Also, he probably gave the car to his wife. Maybe he thought that this way he'll convince his wife to have sex with him... Just joking about the sex part, but he might have given the car to his wife...

reply

true because I think his wife works in the suburbs, plus she has to handle the kids, and driving in NYC is a pain in the ass.

Taking the train is much more relaxing and less of a hassle than fighting traffic for several hours every day, particularly if you're commuting from the suburbs. It's also far more efficient. Cars take up a massive amount of space, and a dense, vibrant urban environment cannot accommodate a car for every single person.

I hope that helps to eliminate your confusion. :-} I have a car, but I take the train to work every day because it's far more convenient. If you haven't traveled by train before, you should try it sometime--you'll like it!

it's called commuting, he'll drive to the station then take the train in, it's better on gas and he doesn't have to fight traffic.

"Because no one in their right mind drives to NYC."

Not on a weekday when you have to get to work.. it's just not worth the hassle or the expense.

Because it's a pain in the butt to have to drive in the city and find parking.

The metro north pass is tax free, not driving in NYC. The pass is a better deal.
