Manhattan is only about 6 or 7 miles long if you're going from one end to the other, which means that most people probably aren't going that far. People can walk three miles.

I mentioned this to the misses that all trains in the city should go the express route, but that won't work for Queens, BK & BX as they're too spread out.
I know of a few trains that have stopped service on the weekdays and overall subway & bus service have been cut 25%. LIRR I think was reduced 35%-40%.
It's tough right now. I'm fortunate enough to be working from home, but I also live in northeast Queens, so I commute everywhere by car.
We're not taking any chances and making sure we're extra careful.
