NYC Transit Strike: Anyone driving into manhattan from brooklyn? +Pics

The strike will never happen, but I hope that it does.

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 live on broome st. and work on 57th. No way will I find a cab and I have no idea how i will get to work and with a final paper due in the morning I plan on worrying about it when I'm late.

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.

I heard you need to have 4 to enter "certain high traffic areas of Manhattan," not to enter Manhattan itself. ALthough I could be wrong. I'm sure the local news tonite will have the rules explicitly laid out.

below 96th you need 4 people between 5 and 11am www.1010wins.com and www.wcbs880.com has the layouts of whats what

And if you don't have 4 ppl i think there going to turn you around. Im sure some people are going to try and get in though.
