If EMS response times in NYC were really hamstrung by traffic (they’re generally not, the biggest bottle neck is actually staffing) that would be an instance where the “one more lane” types would have a point.
NYC has America’s best public transit options, probably the strongest anti-congestion policy in the country, and the steepest financial penalties for driving in. But their EMS response time is like 2 minutes slower than LA which has more cars, more lanes, newer roads, and less public transit.
We do, but our busses are actually slowest in the world. So, yes and no
