    As someone who lived in Chicago and sold his car - it’s probably just as fast or faster to take public transit. Outside of medical reasons, nearly no one needs to take a car anywhere in Manhattan unless you’re leaving the city. It’s highly unlikely those with less means are taking a car in the first place.
