Knowing what we know now then NY should've shut down public transportation at least a few weeks earlier than they did. They should've also locked down their nursing homes much sooner and much tighter. Some parts of the country didn't need to shut down at all. We still have counties with zero reported infections.
New York never shut down public transit,

That is true, they shut everything else down and so most people stopped riding public transportation but the buses still ran even if they were empty. Maybe NYC should've shut their schools down earlier or canceled the parade or things like that. We might never know. The virus has hit different cities in different ways so it is hard to say what the best approach would have been. Tokyo is a very large and dense city with an older population and crowded public transportation but they only have about 300 deaths. So at this point nobody really understands what is going on.
