Yeah, similar experience on the traffic, at least via word-of-mouth. Got a ride today up to White Plains from a friend on the UWS. He said he's never seen so few cars on his streets when leaving int he morning, and never gotten onto the west side highway so quickly.

20 block walk to work. I decided to walk up 5th Ave because the sidewalks are wider. Turns out Madison is closed to traffic and people are walking in the street. D'oh.

Everyone from Staten Island made it in at the asscrack of dawn, but no real horror stories yet.

My dad is pissed. He's been working in the subways for 10+ years and he absolutely hates the union. For the past week conversations at dinner consisted of bashing the union, hoping they don't go on strike, and complaining about the phone messages Roger Toussant has been leaving us.

I don't understand the benefit of this strike at all. Everyone's getting fined 2 days pay for every day off work, and the union is getting fined 100k/day(I think). What's the point? Obviously you're not getting your contract.

No problems commuting from Jersey. NJ Transit to Penn Station and I walked the 25 blocks to my office (as I usually do). I'm the only one here though.

Union to the MTA : "Were gonna strike!"

MTA to Union : " Are you threating me?!I am the great cornholio!! "

Union to the MTA : "We need a living wage !!"

MTA to Union : " You need TP for your bunghole?"
