Bridge and tunnel
Bridge and tunnel began as a pejorative term for people who commute into Manhattan from surrounding communities. Controversy exists over whether this term extends to all individuals outside of Manhattan or rather outside the area served by the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a trip that, due to Manhattan's geography, requires passing over a bridge and/or through a tunnel in a car. It is used for the other New York City boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island – but especially used in reference more for those who travel into the city from New Jersey and Long Island. The status of Roosevelt Island is also controversial.
