In his new book, "Straphanger," (available in stores now), Canadian travel writer Taras Grescoe writes about how people in cities across the globe get around without a car.
The 45-year-old author highlights each city's transit system's strengths and weaknesses, along with a bit of history explaining how it got that way, with chapter 1 focusing on the New York subway.
Grescoe spoke with amNewYork about why he thinks the MTA is good deal for riders and why he doesn’t own a car.
