Riding is somewhat faster basically because
--time lost parking the car makes up for time saved by going faster
--train is faster than car
--bike is faster than subway once I get to the city
--I guess driving the whole way, fighting commuter traffic, Lincoln Tunnel, and parking on the Upper East Side, would only take a little longer than bike/train/bike. But I've never actually tried it.
