NYC Transit Strike!!

I took an extra early train into the city (LIRR) and then walked to my office from Penn. I work on 52nd and 5th. it was a REALLY nice walk and I just think back to a year ago and I would NEVER have been able to do this walk!!!! I guess this is the good thing about the transit strike!!

Lisa, Makes ya think and feel lucky to have had the surgery right? Hun I hope it ends soon for everyone that has to travel to NYC. It must really be bad since it is so close to the holidays and so many people are there anyways.. Take care and have a great day! ~Hugs~ Debra P

Thanks Debra!!! As long as I dont have a problem getting home tonight, I think Ill be ok!!

Hi Lisa, My poor husband travels everyday through queens, then manhattan than to NJ to get to work. He gets up at 4 in the morning to do this trip back and forth everyday. Because we literally live on the border of Queens and Nassau, Dennis takes the queens bus to the subway in Jamaica then takes the PATH train into Hoboken. Today he took the car and he left at 3 in the morning b/c there was going to be so much traffic everywhere! I called him on his cell and he just got to work 10 minutes ago!! My poor husband said there is gridlock EVERYWHERE and everyone is screaming at each other. Happy holidays right? hee-hee. Gosh my husband is never going to get home. Oh well, take care and have a great day. Tavia

Oh my gosh Tavia!! Your husband is a much better person than me...if I had that type of commute I would have pulled the sheets over my head and gone back to sleep!! I hope he gets home ok tonight!! Lisa 371/341/196/140

Good morning hun I live in Brooklyn and work in the city.....I drove in but picked up some people along the way.....I can't miss work.....but I'm the only one here hehehe......so don't know if any work needs to get done .....lol I hope you have a great day....and you should be so proud of your self making it to work walking from penn station...... Christine

I hear ya Lisa....I work 2 blocks past you and one avenue over! The walk wasn't bad but it was COOOOOLD this morning. The evening commute was a bigger nightmare and they say tomorrow may be worse with all the Wed matinee folks in town! I have a dr. appt in the morning so I decided after a 3 1/2 hr commute home to take the whole day OFF tomorrow! YAY!!!!

I will need to take the train in the morning (LIRR) is it running on a regular schedule??? Daria

Yes its running on the regular schedule but there maybe extra stops in Queens.

I had a two hour drive from rockaway park to downtown brooklyn and another two hours back so I took off today I'll try again tomorrow
