Reply to comment by rentoff in Study: NYC is the worst city for delivery and courier drivers in America by elizabeth-cooper

The person who wrote this up probably hasn't spent more than a few days in the city and come to realize that traffic doesn't matter when you're delivering by e-bike.

It’s just a dumb statement, which I initially reacted to. Yes, NYC is tough for drivers, but it’s not the worst for delivery people and couriers. It would take a different set of metrics to capture how the City actually works.

It does specify drivers though, so maybe I should have just ignored it.

Yeah this is like how even delivery apps will say things like "your driver is on the way!" Or show an icon of a car. People outside of the city literally don't understand almost all deliveries here are made by r/micromobilityNYC or mopeds, not cars
