In case you missed the news, the Metropolitan Transit Authority was forced to close all the train stations and cancel all bus service when the Transit Workers Union declared an illegal strike last night.
I just walked home from Penn Station and the streets are a bit chaotic. Traffic is a nightmare. Cabs are picking up multiple people and charging a flat fee of $10 for all rides. I didn’t see many cops on the street and I also saw a real-life purse snatching.
Unfortunately, I walk to work, so I will be in the office tomorrow. You happy souls, working unbathed from you home in Brooklyn, will get as many days as the strike lasts automatically added to your Unlimited Metrocards as soon as it ends. So at least you have that going for you.
