It absolutely sucks to drive in this city. Honestly I want to not ever own a car but because of how ridiculously expensive things are I'm pretty much forced to keep a car I barely use but still pay insurance on. I drove across the country and supplemented income with courier work. Pay was decent in some of the most unsuspecting cities such as the midwest and mountain states, even some populated west coast cities. But once I got to NYC it was over, it's impossible to compete with legions of people on scooters who do it all day, often because it's the only work available to them. The picking were slim, you could forget the bonuses at certain times, and the traffic and parking and ticketing were a nightmare. Not much better for delivery drivers in general, very tough city to work in for that kind of stuff.
