The trains are more dependable than the roads.

No, but you can take the PATH train.  Is that okay with you?
assistant
Is there a lot of traffic congestion in this area today?
user
It is Thursday, and the traffic in New York is so bad that cars usually can’t travel more than 2 blocks in an hour.  This is normal, and if there’s an accident, it’s very hard to get help.  I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful today.
assistant
Is it like that throughout the whole city?
user
Everywhere else is worse.  This is the best time to drive.
assistant
So it's not supposed to get better?
user
It’s always like this in the city.  If you really need to get somewhere, you can take the train.
assistant
Is the train running normally today?
