I’d love to see someone go “Oh!” and do a u-turn and floor it back to the subway. This is a very moving little gesture, but it’s only a gesture. Congestion pricing will make the same suggestion in a way that people will hear.

I think “public transit” is a better term than “mass transit.” People are not attracted by the idea of being part of a faceless mass.

It’s called “rapid transit” in Cleveland.

Never too late, never too little.

There’s always next trip.

it is a revolving message. the first half typically says something advising of a parade or street fair in manhattan during the weekend, or upcoming construction that motorists can avoid by using mass transit. they also put advisories up for mets games since parking lot construction eliminates a bunch of spaces there.

the signage is obtrusive but that doesn’t necessarily make the fdr an expressway. the presence of commercial vehicles and trucks would.
