I only drive in Manhatten to cross it on my way back to PA. I take the train, I find it takes less time from Queens to do so. Even the walk to the station. I may drive into Manhatten, but only to drop off or pick up someone. I use to work a lot at Metro Tech in Brooklyn, there were two two street parking lots across Flatbush that cost me $10 a day. There gone now(replaced with high rises) and now to park, I have to use the underground garages at $17 mim. Bloomburg will get rid of the cars in Manhatten just by getting rid of the parking. Taking the train is the best option, except now I worry about towel heads with backpacks full of explosives.
