That's not been the case in NYC. There have been yearly cordon counts dating back to the 1960's. All taxi trip origin/destination and elapsed time data has been available since 2009. This permits estimating speed (congestion) within any area in the city.
The results show that within Manhattan's CBD (below 60th St), cordon counts across the CBD boundary are at 30+ year lows. The results also show that average speeds are also decreasing.
