If you’re say a nurse or waitress, get off work after midnight in Manhattan and there are no more trains or busses to your home town - how do you commute to work? Oh yes, you drive. Sorry you just got a $2,000 a year salary deduction, losers! Congestion pricing for the win!
And seriously. If you’re a nurse making whatever - you really driving is now as it is? Paying the tolls. Paying the parking? You’re probably not. Tough way to make a living. 15 million people living in the area - pretty sure you can staff with someone that can take public transit

A) 1000 meters is a better metric. B) Also include high frequency bus routes (anything 3x per hour or more) when generating the map. The subway is not (and should not be) everywhere.
500 meters? Ya.. that’s no problem. I guess the thing is - if you have to drive to NYC expect to pay. It’s $9. Skip the latte and you’re even. But if you’re paying $80 a day to commute / park to goto work you’re f’d already. Walk to the subway. Or move. Or get a different job.
Or you grab a taxi the last mile. My mom used to work double shifts and take the train late at night and grab a taxi the last mile
Jesus fracking Christ. Must people take an MTA bus to the subway. 85% of commuters into Manhattan already take the subway. I do both, from the Bronx and there are three buses, two subways and one light rail train I can take to work. In the tri state area there is always way.
For reference this is the only trains available in my state and they go 48 mph max

When is see you people actually argue for cross bronx and bronx to queens subways I''ll consider believe you give a shit about subway deserts.
I don’t live in NY but where I live I catch the bus almost every day. I have a bad knee from a fall several years ago. I walk 400m (quarter of a mile) to the bus stop, it takes me 6 minutes. Fucken harden up.
