The 20 Worst American Cities To Own A Pickup Truck

Your Truck Is More Trouble Than It's Worth Pickup trucks are on practically every street…but should they be? Though the average American gets a lot of use out of them, trying to navigate congested streets or literal uphill battles in one isn’t always easy. From strict parking regulations to historic neighborhoods that weren't designed for oversized vehicles, these 20 cities can make pickup ownership look way less appealing. 1. New York City, New York Finding somewhere to park a full-size pickup in Manhattan? Right, good luck to you! Parking garages in and around the city also have height restrictions, and crowded streets leave little room for maneuvering. New York also has additional parking restrictions for commercially registered vehicles, meaning you need to do some serious homework about how your vehicle’s actually classified. 2. San Francisco, California San Francisco's famously steep hills can make driving a large pickup something of a nightmare, especially in tight intersections or parking along an incline. Parking doesn’t make things any easier. The city's rules also require drivers to curb their wheels on sufficiently steep grades, adding another consideration when leaving your vehicle unattended. 3. Boston, Massachusetts Boston's historic layout might be fun on the outside,

MTA saw record-high ridership over Halloween, marathon weekend in NYC — but straphangers have complaints

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority saw a record-breaking surge of riders over Halloween and New York City Marathon weekend — but many fed-up straphangers complained of dangerously crowded platforms and lengthy delays. Some 3.14 million riders took the subway Sunday, marking an all-time ridership high for the first day of the week and shattering last year’s record by 11%, Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA announced Monday. Similarly, the day before, on Halloween, straphangers smashed the previous post-pandemic Saturday record with 3.59 million riders, marking the most on a single Saturday since 2016. Roughly 3.59 million straphangers rode the subway on Halloween Saturday. Zuma / SplashNews.com Even before the Big Apple’s mammoth weekend, the subway carried a whopping 4.72 million passengers on a record-shattering Thursday, marking the highest single-day ridership since the pandemic with a 9.7% increase in ridership compared to the same day last year. “From the streets to the subways, New Yorkers were on the move this weekend in record numbers,” Hochul said in a press release. MTA bus-fare retreat could doom all NYC public transit “The subway is the lifeblood of our city and from Halloween to the marathon, the major events that make New York special simply

How the congestion-toll scam hides behind the fantasy of a carless city

Congestion pricing is a huge failure if you look at its stated goals, but a brilliant ploy to rob the public by appealing to the war on cars. Despite the mutual back-patting from Gov. Kathy Hochul and her MTA minions, traffic is no faster and the air is no cleaner since the city started tolling cars and trucks in much of Manhattan. It has raised money, yielding the MTA about $750 million this year, almost covering the lost revenue from bus and subway fare evasion. So if picking the pockets of working people is a win, then it’s going gangbusters. Dem pol blames congestion pricing for breakup after beau couldn’t afford toll — as she rips Hochul-backed tax But the warm-and-fuzzy crowd feels like the tolls are a win for the environment and so on, and feelings are what matter, right? Hence, too, the push to redesign the city to make driving a car as expensive and inconvenient as possible. Hochul just confessed: She’ll give Mamdani his tax hikes next year Bicycles account for about 1% of all commuting, but romantics feel they’ll become New Yorkers’ most popular option if we’re relentless enough in expanding mostly-empty bike lanes — and
