therein lies the problem.
you don't have to drive into work, but you do. as a result, the guy who just got stabbed for his wallet has to wait for all the bridge and tunnel traffic before his ambulance can get to him (among the many, many other things).
if you think it doesn't work, look at london. fact is, if you live in the city, you don't need to commute by car. if you don't, drive to a train and take it in.
