NYC wasn't built for drivers. They learned over a hundred years ago
that the city streets simply couldn't accomodate all the traffic and
it was a nightmare. So they built subways.
It should have been built for drivers.
There weren't drivers when the die was cast.

Lack of foresight on their part.

Troll.

At least on a train the time is mine. I can get up and move around if
I want. On some trains there are restrooms, some have food service.
Eh, waiting for a train stinks.
Waiting for anything stinks.

At least I'm behind the wheel in a jam.

That's right. Behind the wheel. Watching a bumper. Which every once in a while moves a few feet, so you have to keep paying attention. You can't read a book, write a report, or take a nap.

Sounds just peachy!

I'm subject to a nameless
entity when I'm on transit. It's sort of like waiting in the airport
and the airline doesn't give you enough information to let you know
what's going on (however, I did have a recent good experience with
Continental a couple of weeks ago -- a first!).

I have to break it to you, but transit agencies have PA systems. Some (including nearly every European system as well as some U.S. systems -- New York's is finally getting on board) have next-train displays on station platforms.
