Possible Transit Strike. Driving in?
Possible Transit Strike. Driving in?
Well the countdown begins for an impending transit strike in NYC. Most of us depend on public transportation to get to us to and from work during the week. Knowing the cost of parking in NYC, and the traffic nightmares, we take the trains and buses on the regular and leave the lLexus at home. Are you guys driving your cars into work? I rather not considering the amount of cars that will be on the road, the parking lots jacking up prices, and the possibilities of damage to my car by parking attendants do to a possible influx of cars in the parking lots due to the strike. So who is driving???

That guy Tousannt (Union head) walked out of the meeting today with his crew. They turned down Peter Calaco's (MTA President) offer to go through arbitration. Strike seem more and more likely .
