I think a lot of people in the suburbs hate taking public transportation AND hate the idea of driving in the city - so they stay home! For some people in NJ, asking them to go to NYC or.. shudder.. Queens is like asking them to set off on a trip across the Sahara without a compass.

Folks, there is nothing to fear! Public transportation is safe and easy. Personally, I plan on driving, and I can tell you that there are no problems.

Don't let perceptions and baseless urban legends stand in your way of missing what promises to be an outstanding weekend. I am really looking forward to it!
