There's no way in hell i will be driving anywhere tomorrow, traffic will be way over the top. I'm certain though that the strike will not happen as it has not happened last gazillion times we were threatened with it.

I spent 3 days in that town and loved it...but first thing I thought the moment I saw it was "if you ever came back for a while on a whim, you gotta sell the car...no way no how in this town."

I don't envy you guys....I only use the mass transit now for trips like to and from the airport and mostly in places I fly to like vegas, but my experiences back East showed me what a great idea it is - you really need to keep it going.

good luck...

They asked me if I could walk to work (it's a tad over a mile) and I was like ".....yes....." unenthusiastically. I was also told I might be able to work from home (YESS!!!!!)

Oh man, I hope there's a strike if and only if I get to work from home tomorrow, that would be teh awesome.

I don't think strike will happen, but no way I'm going to work if it does. the water taxi is a good idea though. do people actually commute on that every day, or is it like a tourist thing?

The bad news is I have to work tomorrow if there is a strike, and its not a problem getting here.

The good news is I will most likely be here by myself.

There are a bunch of carpool meeting points in the outer boroughs.
