It's because the public transit in outer boroughs tends to be much worse.

Yes, and that's sort of the point. We have become unable to build transit infrastructure due to cost disease.

Making it worse for cars in the short term without any concept of how we will make transit better is not great.

Sure we're going to collect money.. estimated at $1B/year, and then what? More $3B/mile boondoggles? Maybe we'll have a new subway line funded by the year 2100.
