because sometimes its faster or I have to pick someone up from the city or a host of reasons. it’s what it is. but the point being that not all traffic through the tunnel is people who can use public transit to get where they’re going.

Really depends where you’re going - I’m generally headed to upstate New York and gps sends us through the tunnel. Can go up to the bridge and then try to get on 87 but really limited options in general. Getting to the city via PATH lately has been ok but incredibly crowded and if you’re buying anything getting back with packages is a nightmare. We have legit fedexed things from shops in the city because of it.

We had a similar bird land on our balcony and someone told me it was a juvenile female American kestrel.
