Lol, people in New York take public transportation because they have no choice. If traffic in Manhattan wasn't so bad (due to taxis), people would be driving to work instead of taking the subway. I doubt anyone in New York willingly takes the MTA and is happy with the service. The subways are overcrowded, they smell, it's always late, the prices seem to rise every year, and it's always boiling hot in the subway stations.
I live in NYC and I personally drive every day to work. If I took public transportation I would have to wake up an hour or two earlier just to get to work on time. My company has 8 offices located throughout the borough of Brooklyn and I get sent to a different office almost every week and I still drive regardless of what part of Brooklyn it's in.
So I would disagree with that article. Cars would never fade because people like us on this forum would try our hardest to keep them around.
