There will be a NYC Transit strike today. Massive traffic jams are already starting. I get a 2 hour delay to school also.

I hate unions. This particular union is particularily whiny, and definitely taking advantage of the fact that the city relies on its rapid transit.
The MTA sucks. They're raising fares, lowering wages and presenting an unsatisfactory 'product.' Trains are late more often, dirty, slow, crowded....the current MTA heads are doing a downright shitty job at managing their system.

GAH! I ****ing hate ignorant sheep who gobble up whatever the media throws at them! It's not terrorism, it's demanding fair pay! Jesus Christ...people like this make me want to puke.

I'll merge this thread with mine. Sorry about reposting.
Agreed, on the most part. The MTA is an absolute mess, and their backing by Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg is a laugh. The TWA workers are working w/ pitiful contracts, and fight for better pay, so Bloomberg/Pataki call them bad people. If they strike, police enforcement will ensue. Just STFU government, if anything threaten the MTA.Originally Posted by Esperante
Yeah its kinda stupid. From what ive heard its the center of New York and there expected to loose 4-5 MILLION dollars a day.
Yeah, just about. That's not that big of a deal though. The congestion of the city is and will be immense. From what I've been watching on the news and through talking with my dad who works in the Bronx at North Central Bronx Hospital, you're only allowed to drive if you have 4 or more occupants per vehicle; any less and you'll get turned around to Upstate/Long Island NY, NJ, + Conn. Supposedly, just sitting in a taxi will cost you 10 dollars, plus about double the fee on the cab ride.. the ferries are running, but slowly and with tons of traffic, and any private livery cab services are backed up for days.Originally Posted by rev440

Rok-Manhattan is the only place turning around cars with less than 4 people. I think that's what you meant, but it was a little vauge.
But seeing as you living in New Jersey, Manhattan is about the only way to go to get to the Bronx.
At least the PATH and LIRR are working. From what I know there are still alternative routes to take, but getting across town could take several hours.

Hmm, I didn't know this was a repost. Sorry, Rockafella I didn't check. Yeah, I heard a lot of people are losing money. All the small businesses and the police officers on OT is going to cost the city a bunch. Delete this thread if necessary.
Ha. You didn't repost it, he did.
