It depends on where you're going to/from and at what time. During rush hour, yeah the subway is faster than taking a cab for my pre-Covid 35 or so block commute. There are some routes that require a bus transfer or a lot of walking that may be faster by car even in rush hour traffic. For example going from East Harlem to Chelsea where you're either transferring a few times or walking quite a bit.
