Some of those people may well own cars but prefer not to drive after pedaling all those miles. Some get picked up by friends an family at the finish. If Glenn eliminated the transportation from New York City he'd probably lose half of his riders.. maybe even more.
The transportation is fine, that's not really issue here. The issue is making me go to Babylon to put my bike on a truck, get on a train to South Hampton to meet my bike. That just doesn't make any sense to me. There should be an option where I can drive directly yo South Hampton and skill all that nonsense. That process took up too much time.
