"don't move to Eastern Queens and Southern Brooklyn if you want to commute by rail-- you'll definitely need a car)." What ever happened to two-fare travel? bus to a subway and then another subway. As far as I know, in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and many areas in the North East Bronx (where I live) commuters have chosen to ride the express bus and then walk or take the subway once in Manhattan. -Might want to revise the text in the link.

there is almost no public transit for red hook. there's 2 bus lines. that's all adam. and all those people from the green map take it to the train. one map shows the amount of transportation and the other map shows the number of people using it. two different variables. and OP why is it strange that most people use public transportation in red hook? 70% of the neighborhood lives in the projects and 45% lives under the poverty line. there ain't a lot of cars per person floating around here.

Is it just me or does the first map show almost no public transit for red hook besides one tiny blue cluster, but the Flickr one is all solid green. What gives?

why is it "strange how so many people use public transit in Red Hook"? maybe a quick look at the corresponding income map would illustrate why public transportation is so heavily relied upon.
