getting to work trip report
Today was remarkly easy for me. I walked 10 blocks to the car pool staging point in Park Slope. I got in some guy's car who was taking the Battery Tunnel. This was at 6:40 or so. There was zero traffic, and just before 7 he dropped me off on the west side highway. So I got to work 1.5 hours early.
I think the retirement age is the most absurd part of the union demands. 55 was a reasonable age to retire in 1965, not in 2005.

Re: getting to work trip report
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.

Re: getting to work trip report
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.

Re: getting to work trip report
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.
