Have you ever tried to drive around NYC? You can’t. Too much traffic. Why do you think taxi cabs are so popular there if everyone wants to take the subway or a bus.
Passenger safety is a real barrier.
In my experience, people use taxis in NYC mostly because they are overwhelmed by transit. They find it easier to get a personal ride directly to their destination. I can read a sign and a map, and usually find it faster and more freeing to walk or take a train (then again, I have limited familiarity outside Manhattan and was disappointed by options in Staten Island and Long Island)

I’ll just repeat myself, Why do you think NY taxi cabs are so popular there if everyone wants to take the subway or a bus?
